Kotelnik has moved to the #5 spot after being at #7 last week

To be fair, if a win over Paulie can make Hatton The Ring champion, then Khan should get credit for beating the crap out of him worse than Hatton did.
didn't hatton become ring champ for beating tszyu?
1. Paulie beat Diaz both times. I scored the first fight 116-112 for Paulie.
2. Paulie fought the wrong fight against Hatton. He should hav eleaned back and stayed on the outside and not go down where he cant move his feet. The Paulie with Sharif Younan is the better Paulie.
I agree with both points.
But it still doesn't change the fact that the fight was a better match-up for Khan and Paulie's stock at 140 had plummeted.
Watering down the win.
1 bradley since undefeated and with the best successful resume
2 khan maybe the most talented but needs another top 4-5 opponent on his resume to cement his place, if he wins big agsint a boxer/puncher he could go on to another level and reign the 140lb division
3 koltenik has 2 yes 2 wins out of 3 agaisnt the top 6 lwws in madiana and alexander. Has the faced the best oppo in witter, madiana, khan and witter, should have won agaisnt alexander and had debatables agaisnt madaina and witter with the only clear loss to khan.
4 madiana only lost was agaisnt koltnik in debatable decision and broke highly touted ortiz to quit after being dropped himself
5 alexander unified 2 out the 4 big belts agaisnt past prime witter and urango also coming off a loss. Needs a big win but if he beats bradley will go straight to no 1- will have three of the belts.
6 ortiz probarly the dark horse now since his defeat, but talent wise only khan could be considered better, but his resume is weak and is at the stage where khan was 18 months ago as we seen in the campbell fight, using his brain but lacking confidence, if he regains the confidence i predict he could be the number 1 in the future.

Paulie did nothing at 140 after the Hatton beat down.
He beat a bum
He went 1-1 against Jaun Diaz at a catchwieght.
Paulies stock fell.
He was suppose to be a difficult match-up for Hatton.
Speedster vs Brawler.
He was the perfect match-up for Khan.
Speedster with power, reach and height vs Speedster with experience.
So I give him considerably less credit for that win.
Khan should #4
1.Bradley
2.Maidana
3.Alexander
4.Khan
5.Kotelnik

SO Mabuza, Paulie and Urango are better than Ortiz?
Fúck, I don't even think Alexander and Kotelnik are better than Ortiz.
Ortiz should not be written off. His heart can be questioned, but his boxing ability is just as good as Khan's.
1. Khan
2. Bradley
3. Ortiz
4. Alexander
5. Kotelnik
6. Maidana
The rest
Make that a Super Six!
Ortiz doesn't have a big win on his resume yet. Urango has wins over people Ortiz could lose against. Paulie also has a better resume at this point, even with the recent loss.
I'm not arguing against Khan being #2. Because I do think he is at the top of the division.
But just consider this...
What if Maidana or Paul McCloskey had done the exact same shit that Khan did. Would they be #2 right now?
What if Maidana or McCloskey had gotten KO'd by Prescott, and then rebounded with wins for gay Paulie Malignaggi, Dmitriy Salita, and MAB-- would they be ranked #2 in the division?
I sure as shit doubt it.
That shit is biased as ****.
You don't think Maidana would be up at #2 or #3 if he had not lost to Kotelnik and beat Malignaggi? I must say I disagree there. I think they would have him at #3 atleast.
Also the Prescott loss was 2 years ago at 135
Khan has looked #1 against who he has been fighting since the Prescott bout but surely you would think they should consider the competition and the obvious lack of punching power they have. There are fighters Khan needs to beat to justify this.

At least until Ortiz beats someone. Who has Ortiz beat?
