Makes sense:
Urango, Witter > Barrera @ 135, Kotelnik
I know that's a simplistic way of looking at it, but Ring seems to use a simplistic way of doing their divisional ratings. Plus, in this case, with two young fighters at similar points in their careers I think it's a fair rating.
I would say Kotelnik is better than Witter, but Urango is far better than Barrera. Apart from that, their careers are relatively closely matched. If Khan beats Mallignaggi he would at least be on par with Alexander.
Knew the ring would, and rightfully so. If Khan would have fought Maidana like was supposed to, then he would have a arguement, but beating Paulie will still leave some unanswered questions. Wouldn't Bradley vs. Alexander be good?
