    i was close toputting victor in there, i like him a lot but he's to green right now. paulie is too feather fisted. ive always been a fan of witter and think he will hold a world title again.

    Campbell is a junior welterweight now. And so is Pacquiao for the time being. Neither should be included until they've actually fought at the weight though.

    Bradley
    Kotelnik
    Torres
    Witter
    Ortiz

    Any order, but Bradley is the stand out.

    Urango would stand a good chance against any of those.

    Maybe, but I wouldn't favour him. Kotelnik already beat Maidana, very similar to Urango for example.
     
  7. In truth, I'd lean more toward Bradley as the number 1.


    Bradley 1
    Pacquaio 2
    Hatton/Urango 4
    Holt/Witter 6
    Torres 7
    Malignaggi 11

    How can you include Manny Pacquiao?

    I know he is your god, and a lot of other peoples, but the guy has never fought at 140lb. Including him in the top 10 is simply ridiculous, and had it been any other fighter than King Pacquiao, that would be the general consensus among anybody and everybody. No way is he included. :-:)-(

    Kendall Holt, Ricardo Torres, and Victor Ortiz are the best fighters at 140lb, in my estimation. After Ricky, of course.

    Thats a ****ing woeful list.You have Bradley, who no one in the US had heard of until Witter at 1 ,Pacquaio who's never fought there at 2 even though he's best in the world and Urango even with Hatton when Hatton scored a near shut out on him :nut

    I'm not high on Kendall Holt. He has a soft jaw. He laboured to a win over the average D.Hopkins who is not even 2% of his uncle. He won the lottery against Torres the second time. I've yet to see anything really impressive from him.

    Put it this way.

    A victory over Ricardo Torres and D.Hopkins is better than anything Paulie M, Timothy Bradley, Juan Urango, or any other contender for that matter has managed at 140lb in recent times. He is second too Ricky, but nobody else.
