I wasnt sure on the specific criteria whether it was first title or regaining titles and thats a really quick 1

 

I'm a little surprised three posters choose Bolystov at heavy and not Solis. Solis is clearly a better fighter, and if he doesn't eat himself into a diabetic coma, he can beat either Haye or an aging Vitali in the next year or two. He is a top contender.

 

I'm sure, but the way this is set up, it behooves people to pick who they think are the best bets to win a title. If the criteria was guys who aren't well known who could win a title, my list would be completely different. But it's safest to go with guys with decent names and big promoters, because you know those guys will be properly set up for title shots. I have a few dark horses on my list. I'll probably be the only person to list anyone from Thailand or South Africa.

 

I like how Brickhaus and I only have four of the same fighters on each of our respective lists. We rule.
