Who is the best light welterweight right now?

If you watch a fight with bias you are going to think your guy won every round, it's like how casuals swear Pacquiao-Bradley was 11-1, Alexander-Matthysse was a close fight and Matthysse fans rewrite history, oh well he could have fought Maidana in Argentina but didn't want to, this guys fans are funny.

 

not really. he went up to fight pac. but he's really a light welter.

he's ranked in light welter by the ring

 

I don't get people insisting Marquez is only "temporarily" at welterweight, or "just for Pac".

His next most desired/likeliest options moving forward are basically: Pacquiao V @ welter, Mayweather II @ welter, Bradley @ welter, Rios @ light welter.

3 of 4 @ welter, and the one that isn't is probably the smallest payday.

 

Maybe. But he's still WBO Champ, Ranked by the ring, can still easily make the weight, and most will agree that's probably where he belongs.

He'll chase the big money fights sure but he's still more light welter than welter imo.

Nothing wrong with including him IMO.

 

Matthysse, Peterson, Garcia, Khan, Rios

they have all shown vulnerability to losing but Mathhysse fixed his by being more aggressive, Garcia and Rios are a loss waiting to happen

Garcia is the most established

Then Matthysse or Peterson.

 

Best division in boxing. I can argue for Peterson, Garcia or Matthysse and accept arguments for either of the three.

Matty can be out boxed at times. Peterson gets sloppy. Danny is well rounded, but not super explosive in any one area.

However, all three have plenty of tools to use to win.

 

Champ Garcia

1 Petersen
2 Mattysse
3 Khan

 

Matthysse
Garcia

Peterson
Khan

Khabib
Judah
Rios

 

I don't know what to be more surprised about. That Cesar Rene Cuenca is in the poll or that he got a KO win in his last fight?

 

If Peterson beats Matthysse a lot of people going to be looking dumb

 

Matthysse, he just needs the fights to make it official.

 

Lucas Matthysse, he is arguably undefeated
