    Well i already have Hopkins on mine (at 8 now 7) So the Ring should put him in .

    Vitali or Segura would be the new ones on my list. And Pong isnt close hes between 15-20.

    Segura is already there and Pong, Ward is there too for some reason.

    If they put Ortiz on it I will laugh.

    Adamek should have been in a while ago.

    Same here.

    In fact if they do, I wont be surprised to see Alvarez on there by the end of the year.

    :nono Hes not that good at HW, and should be rated for how good he is at his current weight. Hes not even close, would have to beat Vitali and thats not going to happen.

    Hes getting better. His weight is now 215 pounds. When he fought in CW division, his weight in the fight night was 207 pounds. So its only 8 pounds difference. And he has made a huge improvement in movement and defense. He didnt fight a top opponent since he beat Arreola, so this "improvement" might be debatable, because he wasnt tested. Hopefully, he will be tested in September, so there will not be any doubts.

    Tested? He was given all he wanted by Arreolla and IMO the fight was very close, but weve been thru this before.:roll: Estrada held his own and he was maybe a top 20 HW at the time. And Glass jaw Michael Grant went the distance and did better than anyone thought. A top 10 Pfp guys would never let the equvelant of those fighters in their divisions give them a fight... All would have been dominated or ko'd.

    How about the super-bamtamweight fella Nishioka (?) who recently beat Rendall Munroe? He's dominant at the weight and more than useful!!

    I was talking about Adamek after he beat Arreola. I agree that he was tested against Arreola, but I stated that he has made a huge improvement since that win but he hasnt been tested against a top opposition to prove my statement.

    It doesnt matter if you dominate a low-level opponent or win clear in a close fight. Only wins against top opposition matter. If you can win against top fighter, it doesnt matter that you fought a close fight against a worse fighter. If top boxers had dominated every opponent, boxing would have been a very boring sport (are Klitschko exciting?) And since he beat Arreola, Adamek hasnt fought a top gun. You cant rate boxer's skills if he didnt fight against good opposition. I can make a statement that he has made a huge improvement, but I dont have any proof, so its only my opinion. Time will tell who was right.
