Comments Thread For: Amir Khan’s Chance To Definitively Claim The Lead

[Rome-By-Ko]

Having a belt means little Maidana is undoubtedly the better name to have on your resume than Holt.

Zab beat Witter yes but that was a prime 27 year old undefeated Witter.

Wait you had Peterson winning the Ortiz fight? Your credibility is sailing off into the sunset.

Yes Peterson won more rds,oh and by the way Peterson was the only one who won a scorecard the other too judges had it a draw and one judge gave the fight to Peterson..Peterson out boxed Ortiz,but you was most likely blinded because KD happen in the 3rd rd..But rds are scored one at a time my friend...

I have Khan and Bradley even right now after Khan beats Judah gets another strap and adds yet another top contender at 140 to his resume he surpasses Bradley.

Bradley has fought twice in 2 years and only once at 140, in the mean time Khan will have wins over 4 top 10 ranked 140lb fighters in Malignaggi, Maidana, McCloskey and Judah. Realisticly at this point no one can claim Bradley is no1 in the division until he beats the much more active Khan.

So what's ya point??Bradley's been fighting at this weight longer then Khan..So he has fought more contenders at the weight already anyway..He is more accomplished then Khan at the weight(even if Khan wins Sat)and he still will be a unified Champ no matter what happens Sat..A win over Judah puts them on the same level..That's it..Funny how people want to give Khan a easy ride to the top spot when Bradley unified twice..Jeez how soon we forget..

I forgot my scorecard but I remember being pretty shocked at the official scorecards and i remember most people agreeing with me in that Ortiz did enough. Either way it was a terrible performance by Ortiz and he should not have been fighting at 140 at that point.

You need to take off your rose tinted glasses.

Time waits for no man the landscape of boxing is forever changing one fight at 140lbs in 2 years is not good enough to claim the No1 spot. How long Bradley has been at 140 couldn’t be more irrelevant you can’t sit around doing nothing holding onto 2 belts and claim to be the best in the division it doesn’t work like that you need to be active you need to be beating top contenders.

A win against Zab makes Khan top dog at 140 in most peoples eyes deal with it.

I agree time goes on,I believe I even said inactivity would move Khan to the top spot...But Bradley fought and unified the belts in Jan..An now Khan unify in July and it knocks Bradley out???Come on dude you must hear how crazy that sounds..Bradley fought at WW and then fought the num 2 or 3 guy in the div..He has earned the right to get away from Shaw tbh...Now if Bradley comes back and fights at 147lb I understand putting Khan to the top slot,or if he does not fight by yr end early next yr...But because Khan beat Judah and did what Bradley did twice already he deserves to pass Bradley??That just don't sound right to me..

I admit, I've always defaultly had Bradley at the top based on his run from Witter to Peterson and then beating top-rated Alexander, and that nobody else has been doing much of anything.

But your timeline says it all. Going through all of '10 without fighting at 140, and then only one fight this year - Khan's done a heck of a job of creeping in, and now a potential 5th win over a top 10ish fighter (even though McCloskey's ranking is debatable) in the past two years is too much to ignore.

I've said for over two yrs now Khan will be Bradley hardest fight at the weight,I've also said Khan should be number 2 when most wanted Alexander to have the spot..I have never ignored Khan or what he has done at the weight..But Bradley is a step ahead in my book based on accomplishments and fighting the top fighters in his div,and weather Khan beats Judah or not that does not change that..But tbh it makes an argument..

bradley needs to fight khan

its that simple

Way to some it up there.Witter beat Kottie..Alexander a unified Champ,Holt was a Champion was Maidana??Peterson fought to a draw with Ortiz who weighed in as a Jr MW when they fought and imo lost to Peterson..Zab beat Witter yes but that was a long time ago..Bradley resume is better,fought more Champions and fought higher ranked fighters..Look at where everyone was ranked when the fights we're talking about took place..It tells the story...

You do realise Witter got a gift in the UK vs Kottie? Also Kottie fought Alex and beat him IMO, and your own opinion. If you think Peterson really got the draw for real the again your need to see who got the gift.

Yes indeed Bradley fought hire ranked people, but it doesn't mean that they are actually better fighters. A lot of the ranking is bias.

I look at who is better, not the ranking alone.

Heck I don't even follow rankings because each have their own, for their own purposes. Whoever you pay you're in it.
