    All 3 guys are worldclass fighters but are Not P4P material and may never reach that status and someone like devon alexander is a notch or 2 below them. I enjoy watching all 3 fight, i just dont think the trio would cut it at the highest level, someone like matthyse could potentially breakdown all 3 of them.

    I would have tend to agree, till I read the Matthysse part.

    I think Ortiz is better at WW than the other two until proven otherwise

    Ortiz turned out to be a ****** in a lot of ways but he won the fight vs peterson and would knock khan out.

    I agree. They are all around 35-50 in terms of current P4P ranking.

    As for the Matthysse statement? In terms of H2H, Ortiz is at WW while none of the others are, plus stylistically he's not good for Khan, so I'd pick him easily over any of them. I think Khan outboxes Matthysse in a close one, honestly. I wouldn't be so surprised if Alexander were to beat Peterson. I might even pick him to, if they were scheduled to fight.

    They're on a relatively similar plane, yes. I'd put Bradley there too.

    I would agree that if I were putting a letter grade on them, they all seem to be from B- to B+, which is very good but unlikely to ever develop into great. Bradley would be there, too, even though I feel he has the best chance at proving potential greatness, of that solid crop of 140-147 guys. Though Ortiz weighs too much to go back to 140, and Khan, Bradley and Alexander seem like they're all 147-minded now, they made for a very nice era of 140 guys, with Kotelnik, Maidana, Mattysse and co.

    Khan > Peterson > Ortiz

    Matthyesse would have a chance with any of them, least with Khan...

    I do agree, however out of the three, if Khan stuck to what he is good at he'd be the hardest to beat and go the furthest.

    Haha, really dude?

    Ortiz > Khan = Peterson > Matthysse

    Ortiz kind of doesn't belong amongst these guys, as he hasn't fought at JWW in four/five fights now.
