    But, a ranking from 1-10 he's not in...Is rare for him to be ranked at WW. Because, of his inactivity.

    However, he can/is known as the champion of WW.

    There's a difference between being a champion and being ranked.

      Khan really seem to be building up quite a good resume at 140, Cant forget that he even tried to fight Lamont Peterson who also turn down the fight due to a rematch clause that was stipulated in the initial contract.

They should just wait until the two meet, or at least Bradley fights to make that judgement because their resumes are comparable, and Bradley's is arguably better. Its really not his fault he's been inactive for so long. Last year literally nobody aside from Alexander and Ortiz (waited too long though) wanted to fight him. And right now he has promotion issues.
        And, that's not Khan fault. Khan has been putting in work in the last 24 months more so than Bradley. He deserves the #1 spot. Once Bradley gets his promotional issued clear. He can easily re-claim #1 spot. Or he can fight Khan for the lineal title.

          That means he's ranked in that division. Can you show me a list where Floyd wasnt ranked at 147 while he has been active?

            2. Yes Madiana pretty much avoided Bradley...But, so what? You don't get extra points for that. Because, if that's the case then we give Khan extra points for being avoided by Bradley. Which is ridiculous to do.
            your not getting my point, the issue with Maidana the fight was signed and ready,, Maidana unexpectedly pulled out.. which gave no opponent for Bradley at the time.. so he made his fight at 147.. your discrediting Bradley for his inactivity at 140 but the point is he was still active weather it was at 140 or 147...jumping up in weight in impressive for any fighter who can make that adjustment..

              No that means his the champion of the division.

              You will see:

              Champion: (insert fighters name)
              Ranking: 1. (insert fighters name)
              2. (insert fighters name)
              3. (insert fighters name)
              4. (insert fighters name)
              5. (insert fighters name)
              6. (insert fighters name)
              7. (insert fighters name)
              8. (insert fighters name)
              9. (insert fighters name)
              10. (insert fighters name)

              Or you will see:

              Champion: Vacant
              Ranking: 1. (insert fighters name)
              2. (insert fighters name)
              3. (insert fighters name)
              4. (insert fighters name)
              5. (insert fighters name)
              6. (insert fighters name)
              7. (insert fighters name)
              8. (insert fighters name)
              9. (insert fighters name)
              10. (insert fighters name)

              It's very rare to see Floyd ranked in those #1-10(RANKING) slots. Even if you think he's not the lineal champ you still don't see him in those #1-10(RANKING) slots. However, most see him as the lineal champ(and rightfully so) so you see him in the champion slot. I don't know if I can make it anymore clearer.

                Definitely. Khan is the king of the 140 division.

                  Good God, how many fights has Bradley had in the last year and a half, 18 months at 140?

                    Did you really put Khan ahead of Bradley because he beat a past Judah..?

                      It's very rare to see Floyd ranked in those #1-10(RANKING) slots. Even if you think he's not the lineal champ you still don't see him in those #1-10(RANKING) slots. However, most see him as the lineal champ(and rightfully so) so you see him in the champion slot. I don't know if I can make it anymore clearer.
                      if you're the champion , you're ranked.

                      you're ranked as the champion of the division.


                      if he was off the list of rankings because of inactivity , he wouldn't be champion because of inactivity as well.
