    I'd say that's a solid list although I could never have Cotto on my list. He's the definition of a well managed fighter IMO. His CV doesn't hold up to much scrutiny.

    I used to tell everyone who Canelo was willing to defy his promoter to get the big fights made and that he was worthy of being the big Mexican fighter then he bitched out from Golovkin so I can't include him now.

    Never been a LSC fan either and haven't seen enough of Dere or Kavi to have an opinion on them.

    I'm glad to see Mikey Garcia back and hope to see Crawford step it up in 2017.

    Struggling tbh. For the first time in years i m not really keeping that up to date with the world scene. Would go with golovkin. Kovalov. Maybe canelo. Not had the chance to watch much of lomachenko but what i have seen he looks tremendous. Up till the other week anyway liked that ortiz the cuban heavyweight. Like joseph parker. Mainly interested in the heavyweights atm for the first time in years as well. The worlds scenes actually missing the top americans...your jones juniors etc. Even just looking at his division or around it back then. Hopkins. toney. Mclellan. Jones junior. Where have these guys gone from the american side of things. As much as its good to see the americans being humbled from time to time...boxing is actually suffering a bit because of it. The top ten rankings in every divisions filled with some pretty average fighters nowadays.

    as soon as the rest of the worlds top amateurs could turn pro and compete..... the numbers of americans in the top 10 decreased massively, what a coincidence!
