    Ellis a under rated guy sometimes , I see him beating most on your list .
    Perhaps Mormeck or Haye stand a chance .Jirov also in with a shout .
    Ellis could be a unpredictable guy so I'm uncertain even with the ones I picked .

    I would have liked to have seen Jimmy in there with the southpaw JC Gomez.
