    Khan's the biggest and the fastest. Big guys like Mike Jones don't tower over him like he does Bradley, Alexander, and Ortiz. And as of right now, I don't give Ortiz a chance to get passed Berto. Bradley I give a good shot, but he will be entirely out sized against Mike Jones, (The guy Mike Jones is fighting who's name escapes me) etc. I would like to see what he'd be cabable of against Collazo (who's also a fairly big guy) considering he doesn't have the puncher power to back Collazo off. Also, Bradley/Clottey just sounds like a mess. Alexander, too one dimensional. Considering what Kotelnik did to him, I'd imagine Clottey would do the same but more since they have a similar style, but Clottey's bigger.

    Khan's style (speed + combinations and movement) he should be able to beat guys like Clottey, Cotto, Mike Jones, (guy Mike Jones is fighting), and it may not be a guarentee just yet, but he's capable of beating the best (highest ranked) of them all, BERTO

      I think either Ortiz or Khan has the best chances..
      Both becuase of their size. Khan having the longer body and speed
      ortiz with the muscle mass and power

      Freddie roach knows what hes doing with khan, i think hes gonna guide him to a pretty successful ww career and maybe beyond (probably)

      And if ortiz decides to continue.. idk.. hes gonna need a heart transplant lol

        Khan can fight all the way up to 160, with the odd cameo at 168 (or catch weights) to get a SMW title. in my opinion that is.
        160 is one thing, but 168? That's a stretch. De La Hoya was more filled out at welterweight than Khan is a Jr Welterweight (Did u notice the jiggling?) and he could barely handle 160 (even safe to conclude he couldn't handle 160 at all judging by the fights). So unless Khan gets really fat, or he gains a shyt load of muscle (which would diminish his speed significantly) I doubt he will go higher than 160. And even at 160 I doubt he'd get comfortable there.

          ortiz if he gets his act together. hes still young so theres hope for him. but khan??? i dont think he has the power or the defense to last against the best at 147. all 3 of the top fighters at 147 beat him rite now and i dont think he beats fighters like mike jones as of yet either. but ill wait to see how he shapes up on the defensive end. his last fight showed huuuuge holes in his game.

            Definitely Khan. Bradley is the best fighter, but he doesn't have the frame to move up and stay the same fighter. Khan does.

              Amir and Ortiz are natural 147 lbers IMO.

                I think it would be khan if he stays in WW, which I doubt.

                The winner of Bradley/Alexander bout will most probably be the legit WW that will stay and dominate that weight class.

                  I think Khan will have a good run at WW, as well as Ortiz. Bradley I think will be a tough fight even at WW, but his power is really absent for the WWs, but he manages to win, so we'll see.

                    Bradley is a tweener like Hatton.

                    I don't see him being too successful at ww.

                    Khan has the size, as does Ortiz, but Ortiz needs to get his confidence back, the draw with Lamont didn't really demonstrate that he can make waves at 147.

                      Maidana is too small to me for 147. I'd love to see him mash out Rios.

                      Actually, I'd like to see Maidana fight anyone.
