    1. Miguel Cotto
    2. Saul Alvarez
    3. James Kirkland
    4. Erislandy Lara
    5. Antonio Margarito
    6. Carlos Molina
    7. Vanes Martirosyan
    8. Austin Trout
    9. Alfredo Angulo
    10. Cornelius Bundrage

    Wolak, Cintron, Gomez, Quintana and Andrade are just south of the list.


    Bundrage could be higher but I just feel like these other guys top him.

    Vanes and especially Margarito do not belong on any top 10 list IMO, and I'm pretty hesitant about keeping Angulo that high as well.

    I don't have a definitive ranking from 1 to 10, but by tiers with those in each one roughly equal:
    Cotto
    Molina
    Lara
    Dziniziruk

    Kirkland
    Alvarez
    Trout
    Konecny

    Rodriguez
    Wolak
    Bundrage

    Kirkland ranked at #3 is laughable imo. I would never have him rated above u know who.

    Margarito is still tough. Easily top 10.

    Lara-Kirkland would be a crowd pleaser, in a different way Kirkland-Angulo was.

    Nice lists SS, you on fire today. :D

    I agree with your list, but looking at it reminds me of how horrid the Jr. Middleweights are.

    Fan favorite for me (other than Kirkland) is Rodriguez. Something about the guy makes you just want to hope he pulls out the wins.

    I think some people are really overrating Lara based on the Paul Williams fight alone. He looked poor against the other step up fights he's ever had in Molina and Brewer. Some guy on this board just stated he'd favor him over Golovkin... Wonder if they'll keep that if Ishida pushes Paul too? Trout certainly deserves to be ranked over Lara. Honestly I would bet that Sechew Powell would earn a decision over Lara. Lukas Koneckny also deserves to be on the list very much.

    You're missing Sergi Dzinzurick SS!

    Any reason?
