My thoughts: - Hasegawa is way too low. He was a solid #1 before Montiel beat him, and he was boxing Montiel's ears off before his jaw got broken. -Moreno and Cermeno should probably be closer together. Most observers thought Cermeno beat Moreno, and an immediate rematch was ordered. - Vic might be a little high. His best win at the weight is over someone who is 51-17-4. I don't think his actual record in this weight class is any better than Arce's. I'd still have Vic rated #1 at super fly though, since he's fighting in both weight classes. - I'd give a little love to Simpiwe Vetyeka. Beat the same guy who Vic just beat and gave Hasegawa a tough fight, plus some other decent wins. - Cristian Mijares might also be considered. His two losses at the weight came to the guy you rank #7, but he also game back with a solid win over Panchito Arce.
Brilliant. - I would say Hasegawa being 6th is more to do with the level of fighters being ranked above him. Should he be ahead of any of those?? - Same as above. - Was voted there in a poll a month ago, he is 100% top 10. - Simpiwe Vetyeka and Mijares to 14 and 15???
Donaire should be in this mix, instead hes battling midgets @ 115. I bet even if he does move up hell be fighting the Arce's and Morel's of the division.
I had Moreno beating Cermeno by a point, could easily have being a Cermeno win. Moreno should be just one place above Cermeno. Perez and Mares slightly lower :think Morel, Penalosa is just right :good I had Gerry beating Morel.
So you would have Moreno and Cermano ahead of Perez and Mares?? are we looking at: Bantamweight This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected 4.

Christian Mijares Bring on a top 8 tournement.
Wouldn't argue with that. Tbf, You could 2-6 in any order but the guys with close fights between them (Moreno-Cermeno and Perez-Mares) can't be too far apart. Hopefully the rematch sorts a few things out with Moreno-Cermeno, the first fight was a ***** to score.
He want's to fight montiel.The most voided bantamweight.Half of those names on the list void's Montiel. Don't be surprised Nonito takes him on.Tough fight though.
