He proved he's number 1 by scoring a shutout over Peterson. No way in the crazy of crazy can Peterson rank over Bradley. As it is wins over Alexander and Casamayor are very good wins, the Alexander fight was his second unification. If Khan comes back with a dominant display maybe there's an argument he ranks higher. Bottom line is nevermind 'Premier' they need to square off. I do believe Bradley only turned the Khan fight down to get out of his contract with Shaw, a promoter known to rip his fighters off. If you listen to his recent Ontheropes interview that comes across as pretty apparent
Khan got a raw deal against Peterson and is still the best at 140 for me. Bradley might actually be a better fighter than Khan but I just can't call him the 'top dog' because has was too scared to face Khan when all boxing fans were awaiting the fight.
i rank bradley at the top but lets not kid ourselves - beating a 40 yr old casamayor was not a great win. id argue the witter win was much better.
That doesn't prove he's number 1 to me. I count it as a duck so once khan beat judah he overtook bradley into top spot for me. Since peterson beat khan he moves to the top up until a point when bradley scores his next victory. I had alexander losing to andrei but it is still a good win. Casamayor victor means nothing to me. Ortiz- peterson i've watched a few times. I think most recently I had lamont winning but i'm sure i've scored it for ortiz in the past.
