    I think if I could, I would make this a 12 way tie for first. I don't know if I trust any of these guys to beat another one twice in a row. I am basing this on who I think is best right now with everyone in shape and in their best form, not how they've done over the course of their careers.

    1. Brandon Figueroa
    2. Mauricio Lara
    3. Robeisy Ramirez
    4. Leigh Wood
    5. Luis Alberto Lopez
    6. Raymond Ford
    7. Mark Magsayo
    8. Josh Warrington
    9. Rey Vargas
    10. Reiya Abe

    A couple of notes. I believe Gary Russell Jr. who has never been an active fighter, is now more into training and managing. If Cool Boy Steph Fulton had moved up in weight instead of staying at 122 to fight Inoue I would have him at number five.

    Committing a typo on your boy's name, I'm thinking your Monster love may be fading.

    And then there's Nick Ball who would definitely be game against most of these guys. Definitely the divisional dark horse at the moment.

    Yes, I was thinking Nick Ball should enter the top ten.

    I have Luis Alberto Lopez as #1, he's improved the past few years.

    No, he doesn’t beat any of the top 10, and this is coming from a Brit.

    I reckon Robeisy Ramirez might be the dark horse at 126. I think he beats Lopez and it seems like a realistic contest to be made on ESPN.

    If you think Ramirez is a dark hose then you need to look up the definition of that term.

    I haven't watched Abe, and I have a lot of questions about the guys outside the top 5.

    1. Luis Alberto Lopez
    2. Brandon Figueroa
    3. Leigh Wood
    4. Rey Vargas
    5. Robeisy Ramirez
    6. Mark Magsayo
    7. Mauricio Lara
    8. Josh Warrington
    9. Ray Ford
    10. Otabek Kholmatov

    I enjoy this division right now, fights are being made, guys are losing. It feels more competitive. On the other hand, no great talents and some of these guys aren't that fun to watch.
