I'd say Alexander had the biggest chance of losing it. I can see Bradley outworking Marquez, assuming he doesn't come into the fight like he did against Provodnikov. Broner vs Maidana kind seems like an easy fight for Broner, stylistcally speaking.
Both Alexander and Khan both fought at 140 but I'd argue that Khan fought the better opposition. I see Khan beating him by UD.

I'm a huge Bradley fan but he has the biggest chance of losing his title first seeing as he has the toughest fight of the three fighters competing at welterweight. With that said I'm still picking him over Marquez, but that is one tough fight!!
Maidana's style is almost tailor-made for Broner. Malignaggi gave him a lot of trouble with his activity and boxing skills, Maidana is a come-forward guy and that should feed into Broner's hand speed.
Alexander is a good boxer and I don't think he'll be killed by Khan's speed or anything. He's more acclimated to welterweight than Khan is and it's unlikely that his chin collapses against Khan's power.
I think Bradley is a better boxer than either Broner or Alexander, but let's not forget that he is facing a tougher opponent than either of those two!Comment

Bradley. Marquez is going to put him to sleep.The welterweight division has 4 pretty good champions at the moment. I can't remember a time where there were 4 champs this good.
WBC: Floyd Mayweather
WBO: Tim Bradley
IBF: Devon Alexander
WBA: Adrien Broner
Keith Thurman is no joke and is coming up for a title shot fast. Floyd probably won't defend the title until next May. Bradley will have his title on the line soonest in October against one of the great JMM. Broner seems poised to defend Nov 9th hard punching Marcos Maidana. Devon Alexander doesn't have anything concrete but may have a tussle with Amir Khan in December. Who gets beat first?Comment

I agree. I think Bradley makes the style adjustment necessary to avoid the big punch from Marquez. I agree about Maidana being tailor made for Broner & feel that fight could be the one sided fight of the 3 if Broner's chin holds up. bradley-marquez to me is 50/50 and i won't be suprised with a decision either way but i just pick bradley inching past him with activity. khan-alexander another fight i can see going either way but i think khan's chin holds up and he gets the decision. if alexander outhustles him i will only be mildly suprised just cuz of how the bradley fight turned out for him. i've never seen anyone beat khan on workrate but i wouldn't put it past devon.I'd say Alexander had the biggest chance of losing it.

I know it's not until December but Alexander is going to handle Khan.
Amir Khan's time is over. The boy doesn't love boxing like he probably should and loves his hand-speed too much.
They both have terribly predictable offenses that depend on working off the jab but I give Alexander the edge based upon him showing he can handle himself a bit on the inside and being way more accustomed to fighting righties than Khan is lefties.
I have to say Bradley runs the greatest risk. That's a toss-up fight to me right now. If Marquez comes in ready to wrestle a little bit for room to get his combinations off, he can make Bradley look really bad.Comment
