    I think that Torres is the most underrated fighter at 140 lb ... he's going to make some noise once he gets a chance to get another fight.

    I think that he got a raw deal against Holt ... that was a headbutt and shouldve been ruled a no contest.

    He has power in both hands ... good speed and movment ... IMO ... he's the second or third best junior welterweight out there ... I don't give much of anyone out there a chance against Hatton at 140 ... and Pacquiao is Pacquiao ... but the others are in question ... I think he's better than Holt and Bradley and given even terms he would knock both of them out.

    Malignaggi can't punch his way out of a wet paper bag and Urango can't throw a straight punch for the life of him.

    Top 5 junior welters: please

    Torres is overlooked and i love watching him fight. He should be the one with the WBO belt heading for a unification with bradley instead of Holt. A fight between Torres and Urango would be good but i think Urango would beat him because he is a bit more durable than Torres.

    I believe Torres KO's Malignaggi as well.

    1. Hatton
    2. Bradley
    3. Witter
    4. Torres
    5. Kotelnik

    Pac is omitted as he hasn't fought at the weight yet......

    Torres is useful, but I don't think he hits as hard as the US boxing press and his KO ratio would suggest. He was taken the distance by Arturo Morua, who has been stopped several times......

    Urango would batter him.

    I agree he is under-rated though.

    YES! Pacquiao is the #1 ranked super middleweight. Don't you know anything?

    PacMan will be the first fighter ever to simultaneously hold EVERY title in EVERY weight class.

    No need to be so confrontational, Tommy.

    Have you been spending too much time with Dinamita?

    I actually think he's a bit overrated, but a fight between him and Urango makes my boxing taste buds watery :good
