    Stylistically, I can make a case for either of them to beat or lose to the other 2. I think age impacts Beterbiev's window, but the next couple of years could be really fun.

    If I had to bet, I'd say Bivol is the most technically sound so he's the guy most likely to win against a wider range of opponents over a sustained period of time so I'd take him.

    Yet that win alone still shits all over Crawford's pathetic resume...

    Serious question. Do you think Loma's win over Rigo is better than Horn's win over Pac. I'm not saying the fashion, I'm talking about the quality.

    Let's see: Gamboa was natural featherweight known for his shaky chin and mental lapses in the ring, plus he got beaten at lightweight by Crawford who is a natural welterweight but boiled down to 135. While Rigondeaux even though he was smaller and older than Loma, was always a superior boxer to Gamboa, Rigo was rated p4p top 10 at that old age as well. Gamboa was never rated that high. Try again.

    You are not talking about the fashion because it wouldn't suit your agenda, obviously Horn - Pac was a controversial fight while Loma - Rigo was not. Pac was also shot to **** due to many ring wars in the ring. Rigo didn't have wars like that, he wasn't that shot, he was just smaller. But it's hard to ignore the context, obviously Lomachenko got praised after beating Rigo in that fashion, while Horn not so much for obvious reasons.

    Alvarez is up there in the top five as well.

    I'm not sure who is the best, but I would very much like to see them fight each other, so we can find out!

    Well stylistically he wouldn't have beaten him at 30 & at FW either so it makes no odds & Rigo has ***** in him! A quitter! He looked so inept that I'd have favoured Loma at SBW too :lol:

    A quitter isn't beating nomas!!

    Do you know I actually feel bad that I forgot him, he's actually more proven than all of them. Shame on me..

    It's a great division.

    I really like the Nail. But he doesn't look like a long term champ.
