    With Peterson giving a good account of himself and beating Garcia in most peoples books, Garcia probably wasnt the best fighter there this last few years. This division really showed that styles make fights and I;d wonder who was the best fighters from this division the last couple of years in most peoples opinion. A lot of these guys beat some and then lost to others some then met at 147.
    Youd have Bradley, Garcia , Alexander, Peterson, Mattssye , Judah, Maidana, Malignaggi Kotelnik ect.

    bradley will probably be the favourite but he hasnt fought the level as the other fighters.

    Who would have been the best H2H out of the lot?

    Bradley or Khan

    Shame Bradley ran off to 147 to fight Casamayor then Pac...should have finished his buisness at 140...didn't want any of Khan...was a wise move really. If he fought him at that time though he could have exploited him in the same fashion Peterson did on the inside...but Peterson is way more dangerous on the inside than Timothy if you ask me.

    Matthysse could have made big waves in the division during the Khan, Bradley & Alexander time period if he got the correct decisions against Alexander and Judah.

    Yeah thats what makes it hard to say who is the best with Bradley leaving early. I'd favour Khan over Bradley though. Matthysse would be a big b24 favourite over Khan but I dont think he can compain about the Judah decision, I thought his loss against Alexander was clear but only by a point.

    Bradley has the best resume:

    Holt
    Peterson
    Witter
    Vazquez
    Alexander
    Casamayor

    Maybe Bradley could go back down to 140 and fight Garcia.

    I'd like to remind everyone that Uncaged Algieri beats anyone who has ever fought at 140. Probably beats anyone at any weight class actually, I could see Sugar Nick Valuev or Ali Raymi giving him semi-competetive fights though.

    You understand Bradley and Garcia can't make 140 anymore right?

    Tough to say. If Khan had an iron chin then him easily, but he doesn't, although he'd beat pillow fisted like Bradley- who'd probably beat say, Matthysse who would likely stop Khan.
