    You got devon "my eyes are burning" alexander whos only claim to fame is the amount of hometown decisions he can get awarded in his career

    Zab "my balls are beside my belly button" judah, another quitter like alexander

    Timmy "runner" bradley whos "waiting" for a fight with floyd or pac which he cant win so basically hes just in it for the cash but unfortunately he called out khan and now ran miles when he turned around and now he is quoted as saying zab quit and is just in it for the money?? Is this guy for real??

    Things are going from bad to worse, just forget about bradley and the rest of them and make the fights with the real fighters out there

    interesting insight. It might be that americans focus more on the original weights of 135 or 147, and do not focus as much on 140. I am not sure. Bradley not fighting Khan is confusing.

    So true. :yep

    And you can forget about Alexander and Judah, but Bradley is world class. He'll start to fight the top names at 140 and 147 eventually. Have patience.

    I find it too very confusing... Bradley more willing to fight a Pacquiao or a Mayweather, but finding a Khan fight very risky?? If he isn't in for a big payday knowing he has no chance against Pac or Money, and not willing to risk this big payday by fighting Khan (a fight in which he has more chance to win), then I'm really confused...

    The best 140 lber is a Brit, and most everyone on the planet KNOWS it. Who cares where the fighter is from, so long as he entertains and takes on all comers?

    War King Khan:good

    140 has had an international flavor for over a decade now. Kosta, Hatton, Khan and crew have done well. So have Cotto and Madaina. It's a near U.N. right now.

    Americans tend to go where the money is, and the money is at 147.
