    Vitali, not close.

    Gets thrown in among talk with real ATGs when his best win is a fat Sam Peter.:lol:

    He's also a quitter and steroid cheat.:deal

    Martinez imo.

    I see Martinez as a sloppy unorthodox fighter who's style is so unhinged that he plays it by ear, only his awkwardness has been his effectiveness thus far, although it has to be said, mostly against deliberate fighters like Pavlik, Williams, or methodical guys (Dzinduruk)who give him time to move around and potshot, who aren't that great to begin with.

    Put Martinez in their with a real Middleweight who is skilled offensively and defensively and he would struggle imo. He struggled enough with Barker.

    This. If not rios then it's gotta be jcc jnr. And the gamboa point is interesting to, in my eyes he's p4p top 10 at the very least

    By rating in the WBC (at least) I guess it's Pavlik the most overrated! He didnt really do anything for the ranking.

    Edit: I just checked and he is now 10th position, its not that good, but I stand my point to **** you off. :p

    I feel its Sergio.

    I mean its not the greatest division at the moment not when Paul Williams was Ranked at number 2 at 160.

    Id like to see how he would go against Golovkin or Bute or even Ward.

    Yes Canelo is big time. He's "World Champion" but has to fight some hellacious comp...Haha!

    Chavez Jr. is another one, for real. Lesser extent Angulo AND Kirkland.

    I know there'll be a lot of ya'll get mad on this one, but Khan as far as the elite scene goes. I just, IMO, see a lot of flaws in his game, esp. form and ring IQ.

    I'd go with Brandon Rios. He doesn't really seem to do anything well.
