What now for the 140lbs division?

[The_Golden_Goy]

With Bradley in all likelihood leaving and trying to make a name at 147lbs (i dont count Abregu as a real test for Bradley) to maybe fight Pacquiao in the future, what does this do for Khan and co?

If/when Bradley moves up, Khan will have a claim, by default, to be the best at 140lb, but are there significant challenges enough to keep Khan in the division, or do you think he will chase Bradley and Ortiz up to 147lbs after another fight or two at 140lbs?

The options at 140lbs are still good fights, but I believe Khan will see himself above an Alexander fight or a Mathysse fight and instead move on up.

How do you think will fare at 147lbs? and would that free up a few belts for Alexander, Mathysse, Maidana and Guerrero and the rest to make some quality fight? or would the interest in the division just die out?

Thoughts?

He's bound to move up, but I see 2 or 3 more fights for him at 140.

Badley's not that good never fought the best at 140 and will be exposed when he fights an elite 147 pounder has no power to stop a relentless Maidana. I say Khan would have stop his whinning ass

I truly believe everyone is jumping the gun..If you had the chance to be a free agent and you knew you'd be one of the hottest free agents in your sport would you not wait to hear what the offers were??Why should Bradley jump to the first thing??I don't believe Bradley is going anywhere,Bradley will fight a decent test to end his contract with Shaw and start one up with a Major promotional company..The fight with Khan will happen and it will happen at 140lb..

As for Abregu,that was a good win for Bradley bro because he did it in a dominate fashion and at Abregu's weight..Abregu tbh would give Vic and Berto a hard time..Which is why I suspect they won't even go close to the kid..
