Its a very weak division IMO.

Number one is between Broner and Vazquez.

Gamboa will be the future undisputed number one depending on who he can get in the ring with.

I know common opponents don't tell much in boxing but Gamboa handled ponce with ease.

Vazquez, Demarco was never number one

Broner is still third behind Vazquez and Burns

I believe he goes by the name, Adrien Broner. I don't like the guy, but to deny that he is #1 is ridiculous.
