The Ring is considering Bradley vs Alexander for the Ring title

khan is quoted as saying he wants everyone. but "everyone" knows that with khan you MUST wait in till he's actually in the ring with that someone. my bets is khan will be fighting JMM but i will wait & See. :drive: Everything about Bradley screams he's lineal material. He got his belt by beating a reigning champ in Witter, no vacant title BS, who's only loss prior was in a fight with Zab where he had 1 week to prepair, then unified against Holt and beat him twice, beat many solid contenders along the way, and now is attempting to unify three belts vs Alexander. But it's still not enough for him. Compair this to how Pacquaio got the ring belt. Spent less than 10 minutes in the division against a past prime fighter, and got to keep the belt for a good while after he left the division. :crazy:

don't be a low life troll. i don't think anyone has visited this thread for weeks & you're still in here crying LOL i don't care what alexanders greedy big mouth trainer wants. if alexander can beat bradley devon will be looking for khan. don king will make sure he gets that fight done. king always has a way of making sure big fights get made. bradley will go to khans back yard & fight him.....what ever he wants. khan is fighting a sh*t fight in his next bout.....just as i think he will afterwards. i have to see khan in the ring with the bradley alexander winner (which i think will be bradley) to believe it. bottom line.... I wrote that post last week. Anyway its funny how Alexander can come out and say he doesnt want to fight Khan and he wants JMM instead yet you say nothing. Yet Khan has said several times hes taking a fight at home and then he wants the winner of Bradley vs Alexander but you criticise him Dont be a lowlife hypocrite.

I don't agree with the decision, but it's their title to give. The most likely winner is Bradley, and if he beats Alexander, I think he's done enough to deserve the ring title. Conservely, if Alexander beats Bradley, it's a better win than Khan's over Maidana for sure. You sound like Pullcounter with that. Khan and Alex both want JMM. Khan also wants McCloskey and Lamont Peterson. Is there a quote from him asking for the Bradley-Alexander winner? :dunno: Yeah theres many quotes saying he's having a fight in England (against Petersen/McCloskey or whoever) then he wants the Bradley-Alexander winner. Do your research. Alexander said he straight out doesnt want to fight Khan.

While I agree with The Ring's decision, it really blows that the winner of bradley/alexander vs khan for the belt with be vacated when the winner moves up to Welterweight right after since "no one will be left at 140" It's becoming a problem with The Ring belts. People win them, but then move up because they have also cleared out their division.

Conservely, if Alexander beats Bradley, it's a better win than Khan's over Maidana for sure. No need to get ready cos Alexander has already laid out his duck strategy for Khan. And he wants JMM! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You sound like Pullcounter with that. Khan and Alex both want JMM. Khan also wants McCloskey and Lamont Peterson.

http://www.ringtv.com/blog/2690/ring_ratings_update_ring_title_not_on_line_for_bradleyalexander_winner/ Well done to Ring Magazine for retaining some dignity!

Timothy Bradley and Devon Alexander have each won two major sanctioning organization belts, but the undefeated junior welterweight standouts, who meet in a highly anticipated showdown on Jan. 29, will have to wait for the opportunity to add THE RING title to their collection. The possibility existed that the magazine’s vacant junior welterweight title would be up for grabs for the winner of Bradley-Alexander, which takes place in Pontiac, Mich., and will be televised live on HBO (in the U.S.). Bradley (26-0, 11 knockouts), who defeated Junior Witter and Kendall Holt for alphabet belts, is THE RING’s No. 1-rated junior welterweight. Alexander (21-0, 13 KOs), who defeated Witter and Juan Urango for alphabet titles, is the magazine’s No. 3-rated 140-pound contender. RING championship vacancies are normally filled by a box-off between the magazine’s No. 1 and No. 2 contenders. However, in certain instances, such as if the No. 2 contender is unavailable, a box-off between the No. 1 and No. 3 contender can fill the vacancy. Amir Khan, THE RING’s No. 2-rated junior welterweight, is available, and indeed, there has been talk of the talented UK star facing the Bradley-Alexander winner later in the year. For that reason, the magazine’s editorial board, with the participation of its Ratings Panel, decided not to put THE RING title on the line for the Bradley-Alexander winner. “After much deliberation, THE RING has decided not to recognize the Timothy Bradley-Devon Alexander bout for the vacant RING junior welterweight championship,” said Nigel Collins, Editor-in-Chief of THE RING magazine. “We began discussing whether or not we should recognize the No. 1 contender (Bradley) against No. 3 (Alexander) soon after the Bradley-Alexander fight was announced. We decided to wait until after the Amir Khan-Marcos Maidana fight (on Dec. 11) to make a final decision, as Khan was No. 2. “Khan’s performance against Maidna, in one of 2010’s best fights, only served to reinforce his status as No. 2 at 140 pounds. Therefore, we decided to wait until the Bradley-Alexander winner fights Khan before awarding THE RING belt, which has been vacant since Manny Pacquiao voluntarily relinquished the title when he moved up to welterweight.” Some fans will undoubtedly be upset by the editorial board’s decision. Those fans likely believe that Alexander, who is coming off a unanimous decision over former beltholder Andreas Kotelnik, is just as deserving of THE RING’s No. 2 ranking as Khan. Of course, Khan supporters can point out that apart from victories over RING-rated contenders Maidana and Paul Malignaggi, their man dominated Kotelnik to a title-winning unanimous decision in July of 2009. Alexander struggled during his fight with Kotelnik, which took place in his hometown of St. Louis last August, and his decision victory was controversial. THE RING’s editorial board can see merits to both arguments but believes that a prudent approach to filling championship vacancies makes the most sense. “Since THE RING launched it new championship policy in 2002, we have generally taken a conservative course when filling vacancies,” said Collins. “No. 1 versus No. 2 is still the best way to go. The most recent instance when we recognized a bout between No. 1 and No. 3 for a vacant title was when Wladimir Klitscho, who was No. 1. fought Ruslan Chagaev, then No. 3, in 2009. The reasoning was that Wladimir would never fight No. 2 because it was his brother, Vitali.” http://www.ringtv.com/blog/2690/ring_ratings_update_ring_title_not_on_line_for_bradleyalexander_winner/

get ready for khans excuses of why he isn't gonna fight the bradley alexander winner....& instead wanting JMM. WHOOOOHAHAHAHAHA No need to get ready cos Alexander has already laid out his duck strategy for Khan. And he wants JMM! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

And there you have it. I don't understand why dazed and j ro went back forth with dude. The problem is he thought Alexander lost. Alexander is still undefeated and is the num 3 rank fighter at 140. Whether you think he lost or not doesn't matter. It doesnt matter what people think? On a boxing forum? Ok then. :lol1:

This thread is debating whether its right or wrong for the Ring Belt to be up for grabs. You, like damn near everyone else, thought Alexander lost his last fight. So should he contest the vacant title in his next match? Im asking your opinion. I dont give a fuk about what Rings rules may or may not be. Is it right ? The rules allowed Pac to fight for a title at 154, did that make it right? If you don't give a f*ck about the Ring or its rules, why are you asking me when Hopkins got the Ring belt?

Sanders knocked Wlad the fuk out. So he was entitled to fight for it. Who is the Ring HW champ today?

Bradley first went to the UK and won the WBC by beating Witter and then won the WBO title by beating Holt. Alexander now has the WBC and IBF titles. It's not so unimaginable this bout is for the Ring title. It's either leading to a big money fight at welterweight or an unification with Khan, either way we would benefit. And there you have it.

I thought I gave my opinion. The difference is that you hold the ring to a higher standard than I do..."Durr, hurr, durr I guess because the ring is called the bible of boxing i should see it as the end all and be all of boxing titles hurr durrr" So stupid. Again I hold the lineal title in the highest regard. Not the ring. My opinion the winner is not the lineal champ. Khan vs the winner would be for the lineal title. I thought I made that clear. And, yes there is no problem with what the ring is actually doing. They have done this before like with Vitaly-Sanders. The winner was not considered the lineal champ but it was for the ring title. If Alexander was ranked #4 then yes it would be wrong and have a problem. But, apparently durrrrr hurrrrr you don't see the difference. There is nothing to argue here. Stop holding the ring too such a high regard. Sanders knocked Wlad the fuk out. So he was entitled to fight for it. I dont hold it in that high a regard anymore. I think its stupid that they can officially score Alexander losing his last fight yet still rank him that high and suggest he should fight for their belt. I think their p4p rankings are a joke. I think Oscar owning it is a joke. So wtf you talkin bout? However, the belt should hold some prestige. Im just striving for whats right. It would just further make a mockery of the title if they dished it out. We already have enough pointless belts. You're basically saying its ok because they say its ok.

I dont give two fuks about their rules. Im asking if its right or wrong. I thought this was a boxing forum where you express your opinions? Instead of saying "Welll....uhhh durr....if Ring says its ok... durrrr.... i guess its ok....hurr durrr" :lol1: I thought I gave my opinion.

What an absolute joke. Who has Bradley beat? Alexander the fraud was schooled, outclassed, dominated and humiliated by Kotelnik in front of his hometown fans. Steelhammer killing this thread with cold, hard, steel facts.

"Alexander clearly lost his last fight but....uhhh hurr durrr....the judges gave him a gift so....uhh durrr....i guess he won....hurr durrr derp" :dunce:

If it is a box off between #1 vs #2 or #1 vs #3(their rules) yes. Why wouldn't I be? And, again we can say he lost all we want but technically he won. You can't really go with moral victories. But, whatever man...Act like if The Ring is breaking their rules or making up ones the fly like you did with your Ward and AA comparison. I dont give two fuks about their rules. Im asking if its right or wrong. I thought this was a boxing forum where you express your opinions? Instead of saying "Welll....uhhh durr....if Ring says its ok... durrrr.... i guess its ok....hurr durrr" :lol1:

So in your opinion a guy who lost his last fight deserves to fight for the vacant Ring Belt. Ok....cool. If it is a box off between #1 vs #2 or #1 vs #3(their rules) yes. Why wouldn't I be? And, again we can say he lost all we want but technically he won. You can't really go with moral victories. But, whatever man...Act like if The Ring is breaking their rules or making up ones the fly like you did with your Ward and AA comparison.

So in your opinion a guy who lost his last fight deserves to fight for the vacant Ring Belt. Ok....cool. Let's pay attention to FACT Alexander is undefeated Alexander did NOT lose his last fight (not officially) Therefore, who cares. There's nothing u can say. Ur allowed to have ur opinion, but what r u even debating anymore?
