I'd pick Ricardo Torres over Maidana. Is he retired officially now or what? Havent heard of him in a while...
maidana "eats his (opponent's) soul"? i dont think so. he couldnt stop khan when he had him in trouble. maidana didnt eat ortiz's soul because ortiz doesnt have one. he doesnt have a spine or testicles either. the 140 division is prolly the most talented right now. a lot of hard hitters.
I think its actually Ortiz. His power is very good. Its just that hes shy because he knows he is getting hit back. His punches are also very straight. I just cant believe this kid doesnt get the guts. He could be so damn good.
I certainly wouldn't call it a stretch to say Ortiz, for all his flaws might be the biggest puncher in the division. He has a pretty long streak of fights where he scores a KD if I'm not mistaken. I'm actually kind of surprised he doesn't have more votes.
I left Urango off because it seems like he might have left the sport, at any rate, anyone I left off can be voted under "other".
I'm torn between Matthyse, and Maidana. Although I'm leaning a little toward Maidana. I say that because, I feel that if Maidana had someone like Judah hurt the way Matthyse did, I just feel Maidana would've gotten a guy like Judah out of there. I mean, imagine if the onslaught that Maidana unleashed on Khan in the 10th was unloaded on Zab.
