Who Will Have The More Sussessful Run at 147lbs in the Future from Current 140lbers?

I think it would be khan if he stays in WW, which I doubt. The winner of Bradley/Alexander bout will most probably be the legit WW that will stay and dominate that weight class. :boxing: :pat::pat::pat:

Maidana is too small to me for 147. I'd love to see him mash out Rios. Actually, I'd like to see Maidana fight anyone.

I think Khan will have a good run at WW, as well as Ortiz. Bradley I think will be a tough fight even at WW, but his power is really absent for the WWs, but he manages to win, so we'll see. Bradley is a tweener like Hatton. I don't see him being too successful at ww. Khan has the size, as does Ortiz, but Ortiz needs to get his confidence back, the draw with Lamont didn't really demonstrate that he can make waves at 147.

Definitely Khan. Bradley is the best fighter, but he doesn't have the frame to move up and stay the same fighter. Khan does.

ortiz if he gets his act together. hes still young so theres hope for him. but khan??? i dont think he has the power or the defense to last against the best at 147. all 3 of the top fighters at 147 beat him rite now and i dont think he beats fighters like mike jones as of yet either. but ill wait to see how he shapes up on the defensive end. his last fight showed huuuuge holes in his game.

tyson was pure muscle. Khan is lean and his bone structure is different too. Khan can fight all the way up to 160, with the odd cameo at 168 (or catch weights) to get a SMW title. in my opinion that is. 160 is one thing, but 168? That's a stretch. De La Hoya was more filled out at welterweight than Khan is a Jr Welterweight (Did u notice the jiggling?) and he could barely handle 160 (even safe to conclude he couldn't handle 160 at all judging by the fights). So unless Khan gets really fat, or he gains a shyt load of muscle (which would diminish his speed significantly) I doubt he will go higher than 160. And even at 160 I doubt he'd get comfortable there.

I think either Ortiz or Khan has the best chances.. Both becuase of their size. Khan having the longer body and speed ortiz with the muscle mass and power Freddie roach knows what hes doing with khan, i think hes gonna guide him to a pretty successful ww career and maybe beyond (probably) And if ortiz decides to continue.. idk.. hes gonna need a heart transplant lol

Khan's the biggest and the fastest. Big guys like Mike Jones don't tower over him like he does Bradley, Alexander, and Ortiz. And as of right now, I don't give Ortiz a chance to get passed Berto. Bradley I give a good shot, but he will be entirely out sized against Mike Jones, (The guy Mike Jones is fighting who's name escapes me) etc. I would like to see what he'd be cabable of against Collazo (who's also a fairly big guy) considering he doesn't have the puncher power to back Collazo off. Also, Bradley/Clottey just sounds like a mess. Alexander, too one dimensional. Considering what Kotelnik did to him, I'd imagine Clottey would do the same but more since they have a similar style, but Clottey's bigger. Khan's style (speed + combinations and movement) he should be able to beat guys like Clottey, Cotto, Mike Jones, (guy Mike Jones is fighting), and it may not be a guarentee just yet, but he's capable of beating the best (highest ranked) of them all, BERTO

timmy bradley

Brandon Rios

Ortiz has the biggest muscle mass of them all at the moment...I'd consider him to move up...Khan does have a long body for a JWW, but that's not gonna stop the heavier guys from being able to push him away...he's basically ODHL's height with a lil more reach I think...but atm Ortiz is the one with the best chances...

So is Mike Tyson. tyson was pure muscle. Khan is lean and his bone structure is different too. Khan can fight all the way up to 160, with the odd cameo at 168 (or catchweights) to get a SMW title. in my opinion that is.

You are clueless. f u. Ariza's changed Khan's physique completely. who's to say he can't change it so that he's more suited to fighting at 160? Sergio Martinez is 5ft 10" as well.

khan's size is gonna help him at WW.

I'd say Ortiz if he weren't such a flake. After that, Khan may have the most success, though I'm not all that convinced about his ability to climb multiple weight classes. He could benefit from there not being too much at 147 right now and in terms of prospects (that I've seen).

why do people think khan moving up in weight will help his chin? just cause it helped people like Cotto doesnt mean itll help Khan. Khan isnt drained like Cotto was. Facing a power puncher at 147 would probably be dangerous for him. Hell do well againest decent fighters but if he faced a power puncher in his run at 147, hes out. The 135lb version of Khan would of been Ko'd by maidana, quite possibly from that right hand in the first round that clipped him

Khan could probably campaign at 160. Arthur Abraham for example is the same height as Khan and he was great at 160. Khan has speed, power and skills so I wouldn't rule it out. But I think Khan said he wants to retire age 28 or something like that (I doubt he will though) He could even win the H/W title (hes the same height as jones and toney) lol im kidding though

Maidana doesnt just KO you, he ends you
