Is Khan the number 1 at 140lbs?

It really doesnt matter what the ABCs had these fighters ranked as - we all know they are joke anyway.

 

Im not sure but he's defiently in the top 1.

 

The Ring's rankings are farcical too at times. Some utterly surreal decisions in there.

 

Against the smaller, clearly faded Diaz who he lost to before that? Not the most stunning win. I think his first win over N'dou is his best. Other than that he's most famous for taking a beating from Cotto.

He's as poor a titlist as we've seen in recent history. Not a particularly good win for Khan when Hatton, who was even more faded, did as good a job, despite being smaller and slower.

 

Great. I haven't had khan v bradley arguement for 24 hours! Khan has now beat 2 guys in the top 5 ring rankings this year. The only time bradley faced anyone top 5 was when he beat witter a couple years ago.

 

rankings like that and amazingly he is not a frank warren fighter.

 

Wasn't Holt top 5?

 

I think it has to be Bradley. He seems like a much better all round fighter than Khan. He can fight cagily or put the pressure on and is good at getting round the jab to land counter punches. He also mixes his attack up well and takes advantage of openings in a way that I don't see from Khan. Khan can pick out individual shots well but when he throws combos they don't seem to get through with the same accuracy. Bradley's chin is better than Khan's and his will power is as good. Punch power seems about even with Khan's work rate/level of opposition probably accounting for his higher KO%. Khan wasn't able to establish control with the jab against Maidana so all in all it doesn't look good if they fight each other soon. We'll see.

 

• Bradley came in ranked as the # 2 junior welterweight in the world by The Ring Magazine. Kendall Holt came in ranked # 7 by the same publication.

When Bradley beat Witter, Junior was only behind Hatton in the 140 rankings.

 

Right now Khan takes No.1 spot at 140 until Jan 29th.

And last i heard Bradley-Alexander is not for the Ring title as Khan is ranked as No.2 and Alexander ranked No.3 by the Ring, No.1 and No.2 have to fight for the Ring Title.

The Ring title will be on the line if Khan fights the winner of Bradley-Alexander.

 

I think its basically a toss up between Khan and Bradley as their current 140lb records are. Bradley will be ahead when he beats Alexander clearly though.

They're gonna have to fight, it doesn't really matter at this point.

 

I am hoping Sky pick up Bradley-Alexander, i think they will as the winner of that fight could/will face Khan next summer.

 

No.

Bradley

Khan

Bradley and Alexander could be swapped around.

 

Great - thanks. I really need to start paying more attention to rankings. I just enjoy the fights a lot more than the politics, I guess.
