    I'll take Jose Luis Ramirez over Limon at Lightweight. I'll have to think on the rest, as this is interesting.

    Far from settled on some of these, especially middleweight where there were dozens of fairly equal candidates, or light heavy where i struggled to find many that were good enough.

    If we're talking titlists, Margarito does take the cake. It's amazing the guy ever made it as far as he did.

    Agreed. Brandon Rios, although obviously a G, doesn't possess particuarly great speed. In fact, it's definitely one of his weaknesses.
