Ruben Olivares.
I'd take Mayorga to be a bit too nasty and tough for Brook. Never really rated Brook as highly as a lot of others and felt he flattered to deceive...
Probably so, @Xplosive. I'd go with Gomez over Donaire too, just wanted to throw another name out there. I'm a great fan of Nonito, mind you,...
Tricky, as a lot of great fighters who have fought and won titles at 122 have actually peaked or had their greatest moments in other divisions. Of...
Interesting fight. I think I'd favour Harding - not a devastating hitter, but probably more variety in his punches, great at working the high-low,...

Norris makes him look a clown probably eight times out of ten, if I'm being generous to Thurman. Maybe once in every ten attempts, Thurman pulls...

Sandy Saddler always stands out for me. No disputing that his record entitles him to a spot near the top of the Featherweight tree, and throw in...
Jones by clear decision again, in fact wider this time.
Yep, got to go with the consensus here, much as I love Fenech. Sanchez is all wrong for him and, quite frankly, just a better fighter in any case....
Lopez early or Fenech late, I'd imagine. Jeff was susceptible to walking onto big shots and could be wobbled in the early rounds before he'd...
Ward by decision. Has all the tools to offset Calzaghe's engine.
Very tough match up for Roy in terms of style. Qawi is often misunderstood as a fighter and painted as some crude, face-first swarmer, which he...
