Rodriguez is the best of the lot not cause hes something special but more like i think the other two are pretty average.
Budler and Rodriguez is a worthwhile conversation and highly debatable. But since Rodriguez announced he is moving up in weight and already officially vanquished his WBO belt a couple days ago with the IBF suspected to follow soon, I'll vote for Hekkie. Shout out to Francisco Rodriguez vs. Katsunari Takayama unification from this year...! Great stuff, which is usually what the division gives us of late (Yaegashi TKO Porpramook, Ioka UD Yaegashi).
Buddler-Xiong wasn't a bad tilt, either. If Rodriguez vacates, then Buddler becomes the top guy by default.
