    Hi,

    Just wondering how many 140lbs champions we will have by the end of August?

    Witter and Khan both have a chance.

    Which do you think will do it? ;):huh

    Regards

    Preferably neither.

    But I think Khan will. Definitely not Witter.

    :good

    But Witter will have to completely outclass Alexander or knock him out to get the decision

    I quite fancy Witter to do a job on the unproven Alexander, but if it goes to points with the US judges, as Icemax said, he'll have to do it convincingly. Especially on a Don King show. I am leaning towards Kotelnik to wear Khan down, but am not sure on that one, style wise Khan matches up well against him.

    I think that you might be right.... I think that Witter will pick pocket his way to victory and Khan will not have it all his own way but box his way to a late stopppage in 8 or 9....:bbb My jury is out on Bradley....:think

    No offence mate but Bradley's the one you should have the least doubts about. He's a hard ******* with a good work rate that he's proven against world class opposition in Witter and Holt. For all Nate's qualities, he's getting on now and when fighters start struggling to make weight they thought they could do I start to wonder if they're on the slide. Castillo is a recent example of this.

    I think Bradley will win a fairly comfortable UD. Witter will win a close UD and Khan will probably stop Kotelnik late.

    What's Urango doing with his IBF strap?

    If Urango stays at Light Welter he'll be tough for anyone but he's more naturally suited to Welter for me. Very limited fighter but strong as an ox. Made Hatton look superb though so don't see why Bradley/Witter can't beat him.

    Khan would have to avoid all his punches unless his chin has improved up at 140.

    On the Bradley note. I think Witter would beat him in a rematch if they both win the next outings.

    Just my opinion Dan..... we could be in a position where Witter does not turn up and performs poor..... Kotelnik rips the heart out of Khan and Bradley gets to complacecent and gets KO'd..... it's boxing, we have seen the book get turned up to many times before...:think

    Urango has dropped back down to defend the IBF title. Personally, I'm not convinced by Bradley either. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that he wants the biggest challenges out there and some of the things I've heard that he does in training are insane (chin press ups, sparring with one eye closed) but I think being dropped twice by Holt and beating Witter after Witter just literally found out his dad had cancer, shows that he's not on an elite level. I think Nate has his number when they fight. I'll change my avatar if I'm wrong- that said, as you can tell right now, my latest hunches have been terrible!
