Tim Bradley had only one fight at 140 in almost 2 years a technical decision win over Devon Alexander, the guy has been too inactive in the Division to be ranked that high so why anybody rank him ahead of Amir Khan right now?
why is Tim Bradley #1 JrWW on anybody's list?

If you asked me on January 1st of this year:
What is more impressive, a stoppage win over Devon Alexander, or a stoppage win over Judah?
I would have said that beating Dev is the better accomplishment.Comment

but it isnt Jan 1st, and since Jan 1st weve discovered Alexander is actually cr@p and over-rated.
Bradlets resume in still good, but one fight in 2 years at the weight hurts his credibility for being number 1, which he no longer is anywaysComment

To be honest why? because he beat a guy coming off of a loss against Tim or purely on the Urango ko win. Before he fought Witter I had never heard of Alexander and all of a sudden he was being called the future because he won a vacant title that Bradley already won from the same guy.Comment

The win over Devon was not a "stoppage" win, it was a TD on the cards.
Khan KOed Judah, he didn't beat the count.OBVIOUSLY A MORE IMPRESSIVE WIN!
Khan has defeated five Ring top ten junior welterweights:
Judah
Kotelnik
Maidana
McCloskey (was Ring top 10 at the time)
Malignaggi (was Ring top 10 at the time)
Alexander isn't such a good win, both Kotelnik and Matthysse were robbed in their fights with him.
Bradley is Ring p4p #6, but he's doesn't belong there. Both Khan and Froch should be in the Ring top 10, but are excluded because they are British not American.Comment

I believe the Lamont Peterson win is better than or at least equal to the Zab win for Khan. It really comes down to Maidana vs Alexander and Holt vs Malignaggi for who has the better resume.
edit... I forgot about the Kotelnik win so i would say Khan takes it and Bradley ducking Khan would have pushed Khan ahead even if their resumes are even.Comment

in about 2 years , khan has fought 2 top 5 140 fighters and 2 top 10 140 fighters.
all 4 were current or former 140 champions.
i believe that's enough to merit being over bradley.
i believe kotelnik , maidana , malignaggi , judah are better wins than bradley's over witter , holt and alexander.Comment

Still better than what Judah was perceived though.To be honest why? because he beat a guy coming off of a loss against Tim or purely on the Urango ko win. Before he fought Witter I had never heard of Alexander and all of a sudden he was being called the future because he won a vacant title that Bradley already won from the same guy.
I mean yes Alexander was overhyped cuz' of one damn uppercut. I never bough into the Alexander hype...But, Judah?
I take the Alexander win>>>>Judah win.
Saying that however Bradley has been to inactive lately to keep the #1 spot. While Khan has beating top 10 JWW on a consistent basis since Bradley inactivity.Comment

Agreed 110%.The win over Devon was not a "stoppage" win, it was a TD on the cards.
