    I say we leave the ESB 'title' at LMW vacant. It's a pretty open division.

    I like the look of this list (if we are including Kirkland?), although I would have Cintron a bit higher and swap Powell for Moore.

    I'm not convinced about ol' Kermit the frog when somebody actually has the ability to punch him. Angulo is horrible. That's why I put him last, but I suppose Angulo was hyped up as a good prospect so it depends how you look at it.

    Sergio Mora likewise, I tend to think he fluked it against a Forrest that looked like he trained in Taco Bell. Forrest whooped his ass in the rematch with no problems at all. Forrest of a few years ago would have stopped him, he had him ready.

    Sergei Dzinziruk is being truely underrated. If he's not top he should be in the top 3 certainly. He beat Daniel Santos, the WBA holder who beat Alcine and Margarito. That is pedigree.

    Moore could actually sneak in the bottom somewhere. Hard to really argue Deandre Latimore is better than him, its a pick em decision.

    Are you contributing, or are you slagging off my opinions for the sake of it?

    They are only opinions, there are some elementary blunders on these list that nobody can justify with logic. That is the whole point, to iron out the obvious errors. A lot is then a matter of opinon but jesus christ you can't put David Haye up there and Anthony Small, we're supposed to be objective in here.

    I think that's a bit strong but I don't take offence. Are we now agreed on the top 6 at least?

    Mora is ****, he shouldn't be ranked.

    A lot of people thought El Perro was the dog's bollocks (;)) so that justifies Cintron's ranking.

    Ricardo Mayorga anyone? :D

    The names certainly. You can't please everybody with the order, I'd just say of any changes I'd like to see its Dzinziruk up a little.

    Agreed, ishy, Cintron can be justified there. I think it will all come apart for the lad shortly, but he's riding on that win I suppose.

    Personally, I'd still have Dzinziruk below Forest. Swap Mayorga for Moore as well.

    Mayorga is an interesting one. We know he owns Vernon which should naturally place him well, but he's been pretty inactive of late and with all the ***s he's puffing its hard to get a feel for where he stands in the division. He probably had the win in the bag had he lasted against Mosley, based on that performance he has to be in there...

    I get the impression its largely irrelevant with him anyway, I don't see him as a divisional fighter. He'll turn up whereever and whenever if he gets a good payday.

    Martinez above Santos due to activity? Martinez has a decent win over Bunema and was robbed against Cintron whereas Santos has disappeared of the face of the earth since beating Alcine.

    TBH I am finding it hard to separate Moore and Konecny - because one of these would have to drop out to accomodate Mayorga.

    Agreed. Mayorga in for Moore then as well:think?
