If and when Alexander beats Bradley,isn't he number 1 at 140??

[Slick_Rick]

Of course he wont be no.1, nor is Bradley, why do people keep on looking past this, the winner needs to fight Khan.

I know lots of people hate Khan but its simple, whoever wins out of Alexander/Bradley vs Khan then they can claim to be the no1 at 140.

how did khan clearly win when it was 6 rounds a piece and maidana got a point deducted for no reason other than being frustrated.maidana is not considered that great a boxer the only reason the fight with him and khan was such a big deal was because maidana has power and khan is looked at as a fighter with a suspect chin

First of all, if you elbow the ref, don't bitch when you lose a point.

And are we forgetting maidana getting dropped in round 1? Selective memory? Khan was up 7-5 IMO, and had 2 10-8 rounds, and maidana had 1 10-8 round - therefore a clear (but competitive) win

Maidana isn't great, but no-one at 140 is yet. that's why it's a hot division. His win over Ortiz is one of the bggest wins of the current 140lbers.

If a fighter defeats the number 1 ranked fighter...that fighter (winner) takes the number 1 spot...simple arithmetic!

is there any reason you have to post that gay-ass video in all your posts?

Can somebody tell when Bradley and Alexander is supposed to enter the ring? In how many hours please. I'm desperate for some sleep before it starts.

maidana got dropped and than maidana pounded on amir in round 10 to make it a 10-8 round which makes the fight even again the point deduction is what made it a win for amir without the point deduction the fight ends up a draw.

what had ortiz done to make him so great?yea it was big win for maidana but it's somewhat overrated bein that victor never beat anyone of any significance

Why would I be making excuses when I'm not catching this fight live to begin with?

I'm pretty sure you misinterpreted what I said, or maybe I did a poor job of explaining myself, but here is what I meant by my comments:

First of all, when I judge fighters, I don't go off of what the boxing media or how fans view them, rather I watch a couple of their fights and judge for myself.

As of right now I think very highly of Tim from what I've seen so far. Also I said a "bit overrated" in the sense that if he loses, he isn't as good as I thought he was. Now that's not saying he isn't good at all, rather not as great as believe he is.

BTW That one poster brought up a great example with Shane vs Manny. Now a lot of people think highly of Manny, but if Shane were to dominate and KO him, while we know Manny isn't a bum, a lot of people would have a similar tone in saying he isn't as great as was made out to be....simply due to the fact that Mosley isn't that great of a fighter right now. Solid, but not great.

If he loses tonight it could be for different reasons other than he isn't as good as you - or others - thought he was. Maybe Alexander has a gameplan, maybe he's grown since his Kotelnik fight or maybe he's actually the better of the 2. Either way, Alexander has the tools to beat anyone at this weight class. He's had 1 bad showing against Kotelnik but are we always going to hang that over his head?

In another post you described this fight being similar to a Lakers/Raptors game and how if the Raptors were to win it wouldn't automatically mean they're better than the Lake Show. But Alexander is not the Raptors. He is more like the Spurs or Pistons(in the 04 Finals against LA). The majority of the people are picking Bradley(LA) but Alexander(Det) might just match up well enough to pull out the upset.

The Raptors/Lakers scenario you pointed out would equate more to a Buster Douglass/Mike Tyson type of fight, not this one. You clearly can not believe Alexander's talent is that of the Raptors in the NBA, can you?

As far as the Manny/Mosley thing goes. If Manny losses and gets dominated then this will go down in the "styles make fights" category. Maybe he's not as good against faster fighters who can take a punch and dish one out themselves. But to say Manny wouldn't be who we thought he was would be a foolish statement. His resume alone speaks for itself. If he were to lose to Mosely it would just be a devastating loss for him but one he can come back from.

At least that's my take on the 2 fights. Just wanted to see what you meant by your posts is all.

why is it that timothy bradley that has beatin every 140 fighter put in front of him and is still undefeated has to fight amir who only has 3 fights at 140 to prove he is the #1? and not to mention the amir got knocked out about 5 fights ago
