    HW - Haye
    CW - Cunningham
    LH - Johnson
    SMW - Ward
    MW - Golovkin
    LMW - Cotto
    WW - Pacquiao
    LWW - Khan
    LW - Marquez
    SFW - Linares
    FW - Marquez
    SBW - Rigondeaux
    BW - Hasegawa
    SFLW - Donaire
    FLW - Wonjongkam
    LFLW - Calderon
    STRW - Gonzalez

    The only divisions it was hard to pick one were - Bantam, because I love Arce & Hasegawa and Feather because Rafa and Gamboa are two of my favourites. Also, I picked Cunningham but I could take or leave the Cruisers as a whole.

    I wasn't really sure what division to put Linares or Donaire in. If Linares is a Lightweight now, he definitely wouldn't overtake JMM on my list - one of my favourite fighters of recent times.

    There's not much happening at 130, although I'm going to the Martinez-Burns fight tomorrow, so maybe I'll have a new favourite afterwards!

    If Donaire is classed as a Bantam, I'd put him behind Hasegawa, Montiel and Arce on my favourites list and put Nashiro on the list.

    Nice, have fun man. Neither are fighters I'd expect be be anyones favoruite, but both pretty good. Originally I thought Martinez by KO but as the fight gets closer I reckon Burns decision.

    Thanks. I'm hoping Burns can pull it off but I think he's too easily dragged into a war - if he lands his punches easily enough, he gets tempted to stay in there too long. Rocky's porous defence might give Ricky too much false confidence. Exchanging with Martinez isn't going to end well.

    I've put Rigo on my list - I really love what I've seen of him so far.

    Then you're missing out on the best division in boxing. Bantamweight.
