    I'd say Hatton and Bradley should be the only two in consideration for the best at 140. They're the only proven fighters at the weight.

    yeh just watched the Alexander fight was extremly impressed. Witter, Urango and Corley are 3 very very good wins.

    i also went for Alexander.

    Hatton coming off a loss and been way too inactive to be considered #2. Devon is #2 after his win yesterday!

    I think Ortiz is better than your 8,9,10 and 7 too. but since kotelnik has a win over Maidana and Ortiz lost to him i can see him being higher, HTH Ortiz can beat half the guys in the top 10.

    Ortiz will go back into the top 10 when if be beats Nate Campbell i would imagine.

    dont think you can rate him ahead of Mabuza who just stopped Holt in 6 rounds. Holt last year put bradley on his back twice in a close fight

    No imo Mabuza has a poor track record and has lost to quite a few sub par opposition, probably was more of a case of Holt being faded or not prepared. If Mabuza could pull out another good win id say yey but he will have to prove it wasnt a fluke. If it was another Prospect or borderline contender that knocked out Holt id say yey, but Mabuza has to do get another win against a good fighter.

    TBH, as exciting as the boxing matches are, I don't think much of the current crop of LWW. If Pac would drop weight to fight in this division, he'd murder each and everyone of these fighters.

    Personally, while I don't like Khan as a person, take away that weak chin and he's easily no 1 in this division. Without the chin, he probably drops to number two. But even with it, really, I question who is there to really expose it. Marcos Maidana? Dude lost to Kotelnik but... ok. As for the others, I don't know, they aren't exactly KO artists.
