Out of the Junior Welterweights.....

Devon Alexander. This kid is GOLD. He'll be money at 147 with that speed and defense. I think Khan could make some waves, too, as long as his chin can take it.Comment

He fought at 155 in the amateurs. He may be short, but the dude is ripped like hell at 140. He also struggles to make weight. He would be stronger at 147. He's also beaten up guys who are the size of WWs like Kendall Holt (who also punches like one) and Lamont Peterson.Comment

Whoever ends up reigning supreme between Alexander and Bradley will be the first to move up and will almost certainly have a ton of success, and whoever loses will eventually move up and likely have good careers there as well.Comment

This whole thread depends on how big an impact we are talking about, i wouldn't pick any to beat Mayweather, Mosley or Pac.
Hatton has already been a WW champion,
Alexander and Bradley would beat most other WW fighters, maybe Berto would win but would be close,
Kahn is young and has the frame to move up eventually,
Maidana has the power to hurt anyone but I have only really watched the Ortiz fight so I can't talk much about him,
Malignaggi gave Cotto a good fight and i think could handle most WW power but will not knock any of them out,
This is why I voted all of them, but as I said none of them will beat the big 3 but could make a big enough impact to win some belts at WWComment

Taking into account talent and physicality; Alexander and Khan, not sure about Bradley, hes pretty small and already ripped out, though he has the talent to make the move up.Comment

Timothy bradley, Devon Alexander and maybe Amir Khan if the added weight improves his china chin.
They all have are athletic, skilled and strong. And they all have speed.
Maidana style is not made for the higher weight class. He would be destroyed by any of the top 5 welterweights because he won't be able to physically out beat his opponent and have to rely on his punching power which might not be great at 147 and he is not skilled at all and is flat footed.
Paulie, is too feather fisted and is weak as hell. He got destroyed by ricky hatton and cotto. Who are all pressure fighters that are physically stronger than him.
And ricky well....he is shot after pacquaio put him to sleep.Comment

Not right now IMO. Neither holds a threat with punching power to go up in weight. There is a lot of skill and speed and the matches can still be done at 140. If they go up is cause there is an opportunity to make serious money.Comment
