Well it looks like it may have implications. Bradley, if he wants acclaim and money, what fighter doesn't, will look to fight talented Amir Khan. Khan should win. Then there will be Kotelnik waiting for the winner, most likely Khan. If Khan wins he will clearly be viewed as the top dog in the 140 lbs class and top ten or five PFP fighter.
Khan, if he wants to enhance his legacy will look to fight a very live underdog in Kotelnik. So WA 33, this fight does have implications for a White fighter to come out on top and secure a PFP ranking. Kotelnik is very capable of beating Khan, but it won't be easy.
There are upcoming fights that involve non White fighters such Cotto vs Mayorga and any fight Pacman is in. Yeah, I look forward to some of these fights, but I see your point WA 33.
