He's only been at Junior Welterweight for 1 and 1/2 years.
His first fight at 140 was in July of 2009 and 3 of his 4 fights at 140 since then were against Top 5 - Top 10 opposition.
Kotelnik and Maidana are currently ranked 4 and 5 in the division.
Malignaggi was also a Top 10 Junior Welterweight when he beat him.
Now his next opponent is Lamont Peterson. Another guy ranked in the Top 10.
Not bad for a 24 yr. old kid huh?
