    Golovkin
    Lemieux
    Jacobs
    Derevyanchenko
    Murata

    I don't have Canelo there because he doesn't have a win at MW yet but as soon as he does(which I think will be soon) I will put him there. Same for Charlo. The reason I have Jacobs so low is because his only win that matters is against Quillin who I don't rate very highly. Murata is high after his "loss" to N'Dam because there is no way he lost to me and he won impressively. Derevyanchenko seems to have a pretty high skill level and to me appears more impressive than Lemieux but doesn't have the wins. Actually I should have him below Jacobs. (Initially I didn't but then I thought about it and fixed it)

    Saunders looks pretty bad to me.

    You know who I want to see get a shot against someone solid? Luis Arias.

    But the thread asks a very subjective question, as evident by the use of the possessive pronoun your...

    What if he has the exact same performance in the 1st and utterly dominates N'dam and gets robbed again? LOL, but nah after those 2 judges were suspended, I'm guessing they're giving it to Murata even if it's a fight that could go either way(though Murata will destroy N'dam again).

    I am unabashed E.E. nuthugger but I also try and be realistic when evaluating talent but I have this strong feeling that by next year Derevyanchko could beat everyone at MW!

    Arias is indeed a very good prospect. Will likely be challenging for a world title in late 2018 or 2019.
