    How is Santos ahead of Dzindziruk when Dzindziruk already beat him?? Watch more boxing, Asero.

    it's my personal list..i believe that if they had a re-match, i would think that santos would win..there is power in both his hands..i must admit i have never seen the dzindziruk-santos fight

    1. Sergei Dzindziruk
    2. Daniel Santos
    3. Vernon Forrest
    4. Paul Williams
    5. James Kirkland

    Angulo and Martinez are honorable mentions. I rated Williams over Kirkland based on Williams' win over Verno Phillips and Kirkland's lack of top-echelon opponents. Should Kirkland defeat Joel Julio, I'll rate him over Williams at 154 since the Wright fight is scheduled to take place at middleweight.

    How would those names do against the top 4 Brits:-
    1. Jamie Moore
    2. Bradley Pryce
    3. Ryan Rhodes
    4. Anthony Small

    All the Brits are calling for World shots and 1 or 2 of them will break through this year. My tip is Ryan Rhodes.

    man i was thinking about this division the other night i think its the best in britain at the moment and you could easily add in gary woolcombe to that list aswell

    out of them all id back moore to go all the way. small is probably the most naturally gifted but still needs some time and expierence he's to amateurish. i feel rhodes has reached his limit he,s like 33 and slowing down but still has alot of class so id give him nearly as good a chance as moore. and pryce has a **** load of talent but like small needs expierence and time

    but like i said the most stacked division in britain

    Ryan Rhodes could operate against the top of the 154 lb division. The man had World title fights at MW when he was still pretty green (in comparison to how well-rounded he is now)

    Would be a great fight for Angulo I think. Rhodes is top class and hopefully Hayemaker can get him a WBO title shot ot something once he destroys Anthony Small.

    Can't say I know Rhodes well, but you'll have a hard time convincing me that someone who was recently beaten by Gary Lockett is on the cusp of breaking out.

    Top 5 @ 154:
    Dzinziruk
    Santos
    Williams
    Forrest
    Martinez
