    Yeah I'd agree with that. Vasquez is not bad though. He could conceivably beat any of those IMO.

    Agreed. He'd be a live dog. Probably I'd rank him 5th at 135.

    Vasquez.

    Before last night I had de Marco as a favourite over the other 3 titlists. That hasn't changed for me. He's still top 5.

    I think Flea is trying to be cool again. I'm not Broner's biggest fan, but agreed that performance last night put him a clear number 1 and he'd beat anyone at 135 except maybe Gamboa if he carries that weight well

    Broner-Gamboa really could be a sweet fight although Broner's future looks to be at 140-147

    He's had one fight there, not looked brilliant beforehand, and still didn't blow my mind last night against an admittedly good fighter.

    Broner impressed me enough that I know think he's a legit fighter. But not a legit' no.1, not that any of 'em really are at the mo'.

    I disagree Flea of only because someone has to be number one.

    He isn't an undisputed champ or anything but I think he's the number 1 out there.

    He looked good though, like a more offensive minded Floyd.

    They said he weighed 5 pound more than DeMarco last night whatever he came in at.
