    Gary Russell Jr > Mikey Garcia.


    The Chisora fight was better than the Firtha fight as well, IMO.

    My memory is awful - forgot that fight happened this year. As for Russell Jnr, i like him as well but just think Mikey is further along (whats the criteria again?)

    edit: just realised you were commenting on jpabs....hes picked the same so i must be right

    Good thread though. It's given me a bit more perspective on the game as it stands today.

    Yes, I would be. The debate would be immense. I'm just worried someone would give Floyd one of the categories at Welterweight, Light Welter or Lightweight, and that'd make me upset and I'd have to go off on one.

    But yes, would be a terrific thread, and I could conceivably pick answers in every division :good

    Straw weight is gonna' be easy ;-)
