    I think it would be either Danny Jacobs or Marco Antonio Rubio. At the moment I would just edge Rubio.

    Marco is a tough, proven veteran with great durablity, stamina, and power to boot. Jacobs has question marks over his punch resistance and ring IQ, but he's talented without a doubt, and could genuinely improve under Roach's tutelage. I think he is a level above the rest of the guys (excluding MAR).

    Guerrero struggled against Ishe Smith (He lost on my card), and looked average against Derrick Findley. Chavez is just a b-level fighter, no explanation needed. Lemieux as of now cannot compete at the top (although that could change in time). Andy Lee is a very determined fighter, with good power, but starts slow and can be outboxed with surprising ease.

    I think Pirog would beat all of these guys.

    Good post bud. :good

    Obviously it's difficult to foresee how it would pan out but I'd imagine there would be a lot of surprises due to the mesh of styles. I think you're a bit dismissive of Lemieux though. He had a bad game plan in the Rubio fight and I believe he could beat any of those guys. Rubio's experience would probably put him as favourite but he can be outboxed, I think Lee could outbox him if he fought to his ability.

    You're not wrong. There are so many variables to consider in matching up these fighter, and the fact that they are all around the same level makes picking a winner very difficult. If this were to happen, I think luck would play a substantial part in deciding the winner.
