    Wondered what people would make of this given the mass-misinterpretation of Khan's comments yesterday. Roach had this to say when talking about Khan and what's next should he beat Malignaggi:

    'Our goal is to unify the titles. That's why we're in America. We are going to make a statement with Paulie, Alexander and right down the list to Timothy Bradley. It's the best division in the world and we want to conquer that.'

    intresting he seems to rate Alexander ahead of Bradley.

    If Khans next 5 fights were wins over;

    Mallignaggi
    Ortiz
    Maidana
    Marquez
    Alexander/Bradley winner

    where would you rate him P4P?

    No-one should be talking about P4P yet, IMO, Rob. I do rate Alexander as the best in the division sylistically as well, though. It's beyond debate that both Alexander and Bradley are the proven best two fighters in the division in terms of record. I actually think Alexander is a harder fight for Khan as well and I'd prefer Khan to go for Bradley next if it was a choice between the pair of them.

    It's also clearly evident that both Bradley and Alexander are both waiting for the winner of Khan-Malignaggi before naming their next opponent as well:yep. As for Ortiz, he shouldn't even be talked about- he needs to prove himself all over again and Maidana will be exposed soon enough by anyone who wants to outbox him. As my favourite fighter, I hope JMM stays at 135 as well- who knows what will happen, though?

    If it was the best division in the world ... wouldn't Pac be conquering it first?

    He's lineal champ and has already conquered it. The big fights for Pac are all at 147 as well. I'd love to see Pac-Alexander, though:yep.

    most certainly he should be in the top 10 P4P if he beat that lot back-to-back.

    Best in temrs of potential talent and coul dbe the biggest division in temrs of strength with the depth and skillset of those at the top who could go on to become P4P ers. Welter was good but is slipping Shane obviously on the way out Cotto gone to lmw same with margo but who really knows how much either of them have left Floyd and Manny may well retire if they ever fight

    I can not see anyone currently in the 140 division that is better than Khan.

    Anyone see Paulies comments earlier? Not sure which is funnier... Paulie actually saying Khan will get Knocked Out, or Roach saying Pauli will be KO'd in 3...even though that was said somewhat tongue in cheek.

    Please. If Khan beats Paulie he will want a rematch with Salita, a rematch with Barrera, and then Erik Morales. This guy is a fraud and cherry picking joke. What will his huggers say if after Paulie he still doesn't fight a top guy at 140?
