The rankings don't matter so much at the moment because when its all said and done the winner of bradley/alex will fight khan, to determine the #1 at 140.
Malignaggi is a better name to have on your resume than Peterson or Holt:
Malignaggi:
- Former world-champion with 2 successful defense.
- Had a close fight with Cotto.
- Challenged Hatton for the lineal title at 140lbs.
- Notable wins over N'dou (x2), N'goudjo, and 2 wins over Juan Diaz.
Peterson:
- Former WBO-champion (0 defenses).
- No marquee wins on his resume.
Holt:
- Former WBO champion.
- Notable wins over Ricardo Torres, Demetrius Hopkins, David Diaz.
- Loses against Torres, Thomas Davis? wtf.
- Gone on to lose vs. Mabuza.
Therefore, Khan's win over Malignaggi (in Malignaggi's home-town) is better than Bradley's wins over Peterson and Holt.
Bradley's win over Witter is impressive, and was in the UK. But Witter was past-prime, but his win is better than Alexander's win over Witter.
Khan beat a prime-Kotelnik, dominated him infact for 12 rounds. Alexander LOST to Kotelnik, 8 rounds to 4 IMO. So Khan's resume is automatically better than Alexander's.
Khan's win over a prime-Maidana, who was in the shape of his life, is better than Bradley's wins over Witter and Miguel Vazquez. Bradley's win over Edner Cherry is unremarkable, Cherry had 5 losses prior to fighting Bradley, Bradley was supposed to beat Cherry. Khan at least gets some credit for KO'ing Salita. Salita and Cherry were both C-class fighters.
Maidana > Miguel Vazquez, past-prime Witter, and Edner Cherry.
Khan has great wins over Maidana and Kotelnik. And a good win over Malignaggi.
Bradley has good wins over Peterson, Holt, past-prime Witter, and Vazquez.
