Timothy Bradley vs. Amir Khan. The U.S. vs. England. Short and ripped vs. tall and lean. Both skilled, both ridiculously quick. The cream of the rich 140-pound division.
So who wins the championship match of the first “RingTV.com Elite Eight Boxing Classic?”
Well, first things first. Thanks for your insight in so many comments and e-mails after the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds, particularly those who were respectful in disagreement. You seemed to understand that this series was merely meant to be fun and spark debate.
We all know how difficult it is to predict how one elite fighter would do against another. Some readers believe Zab Judah would’ve won this competition. Some suggested that Marcos Maidana would’ve KO’d Victor Ortiz again. And some thought Alexander and Ortiz would’ve won their semifinal fights.
They all might be right. That’s the beauty of this: It’s all entertaining speculation until they meet in the ring –- or in a RingTV.com tournament.
In the end, Bradley and Khan, certainly two of the most-gifted fighters in the world, survived the quarterfinals and semifinals in our eyes to earn a spot in the championship match of our competition and a chance to prove who is the best junior welterweight.
