So 2 of the top 3 140lbers showed their weaknesses....

[AKATheMack]

Bradley can be hit and is slightly lacking in punching power, but his recovery time is great and he'll never stop coming forward and throwing punches.

Alexander has troubles with a high guard and is open to counter punches, but hes a very good boxer with good handspeed and a decent punch.

Khans chin is still in question, but hes an amazing athlete and if you cant get to his chin has shown very few other weaknesses.

Ortiz has shown he can only take a limited amount of punishment against hard punchers and he can be ****** into fighting the wrong fight, but his handspeed is very good and he has the ability to land hard accurate punches.

Maidana can be outboxed by any other top fighter in the division, but his extremely heavy hands and his determination make him a tough fight for anyone at 140.

Thats why this division is so exciting. Its not filled with supermen its filled with very good fighters who all have vulnerabilities.

Wouldn't it funny if Bredis KOd either Bradley or Devon....or maybe we should just classify Khan as damaged goods.

Hell lets bring up Manny being KTFO by Torrecampo.....Hasegawa by Montiel.....Caballero by Rojas....

Why did you mention Hasegawa getting stopped by Montiel?

That's different than Caballero-Rojas, Prescott-Khan, and Pacquiao-Torrecampo.

EDIT: Unless I'm misunderstanding your post.

Khan's bad chin doesn't come from that one fight. He's been knocked down 5 times against relatively 'nobodies' as a pro.

Drilzane(1 time), Gomez(1 time), Limmond(1 time), and two by Prescott which one lead to an actual KO.

Continued.


Drizlane: 15W (1 KOs)

Limond: 33W (8 KOs)

Gomez: 35W (25 KOs)

Prescott 23W (19 KOs)

its not just 2 of them, in reality every top fighter at 140lbs has shown their weaknesses.

Khan still has a crappy chin
Ortiz is still too stiff and lacks a little drive
Maidana is too wild
Kotelnik doesnt have a high workrate or a powerful punch

yet all of them have their own strengths.

This sitution SCREAMS that they should have a tourney at 140lbs. Who beats who depends hugely on style matchups, imo. everyone has a chance to beat one of the other top guys

[crold1]

Of course not....we'll get to that on Khan's next test....he did just out-box Paulie....and does he have power? How long ago was Khan KTFO?

The last time he faced someone with anything approaching above average power.

Khan is becomming the man to beat at 140...

Khan is becomming the man to beat at 140...

Bradley would mess Khan up and stop him. Bradley's power is very underrated because of his KO ratio, but that's because he isn't a finisher, not lack of pop. He routinely hurts his opponents.

The only reply to this post I can think of is GREEN K.

Bradley showed against a slow prodding Abregu that he still has many holes and is VERY hittable against a WW "contender".....

Devon showed that he he can be countered and discouraged by a persistent counter puncher.....

Both fighters "won" the fights.....but diddn't "win" any fans....

BTW - The haters regarding Kotelnik....should give the man his due....he came to Devon's hometown, and basically schooled Devon....I had Kotelnik winning the fight....8 rounds to 4. Cleaner punching, stalked Devon, walked thru his punches. Devon was pitty-patting his way thru the fight and wasn;t listening to his corner.

Kind of puts Khan's win in perspective....

And for those who always say "afro-american slick boxers are the best" (you know who you are)....two of the better ones were un-impressive against a Euro and a Argentine fighter....

Well, I'm with Khan until the end of this 140 stint. Lolz. Bad chin and all. Anyhow, the wins after that KO loss made me a believer.
