Thoughts?

 

He's certainly on the rise at the minute. Looking at the top lightweights I think only Marquez, Rios and Guerrero beat him but perhaps only Rios will fight at lightweight again. I see a fight with Vazquez as pretty even but I think he beats DeMarco and Mitchell

 

Whichever way I have them thats always going to cause a lot of debate. Here is a crazy idea: why don't Manny and Floyd fight each other, then we know for sure who's number 1? :good

 

Before he got blasted out by Jaro last week Wonjongkam was in the top 15 before he looks like he may of got old overnight. I'll be intrested to see his next fight against decent opposition.

I agree with you that Lara and Campillo was robbed (particularly Lara) in their fights against Williams and Cloud but I decided to base it on actual results first and foremost and I believe Williams and Cloud have better resumes.

 

What do you have as top 10?

I think 99% of people have Manny and Floyd as number 1 and 2 but in different orders

90% probably have Marquez, Martinez, Donaire and Ward as 3 to 6 in different orders.

The Klitscho's will be in the vast majority of peoples lists now.

The final 2 slots in the top 10 are normally between Gamboa, Bradley, Hopkins, Cotto, Bute, Nishioka and Moreno (especially following loses in the last fights of Froch, Wonjongkam and Segura).

 

Gonzalzez has the talent without a doubt. I'd like to see him start fighting better oppostion though before putting him in the top 20. Ulises Solis would be a good start.

I actually find Vazquez a bit boring and would much rather see Burns in with MItchell or DeMarco, but I would be intrigued to see who wins.

 

Yeah possibly Linares. I don't consider him a top lightweight at the moment though. He needs to beat a top 10 guy.
