    I honestly feel that Ward and Berto can switch spots because they are in such strong divisions that they have to watch their steps very carefully to preserve their "0". It would be great if Ward was able to still fight at 160 because both Pavlik and Abraham days are numbered at that weight division, for both Berto and Ward to move up the rankings won't be that easy at 147 and 168.

    I agree. Depending on their next couple of fights, I would switch Ward and Gamboa, but not right now.

    1. Andre Berto...hard to still call him a prospect when he has a title
    2. Yuriorkis Gamboa....more talented than any of these guys but unproven agianst top level fighters. Most potential.
    3. Andre Ward...I question his chin more than any of these guys. Khan alert on Ward.
    4. Tavoris Cloud.
    5. Andre Dirrell- Good athlete and size, but clowns to much. Don't think he has the mental toughness to be elite.
    I know Gamboa has been down, and his chin is also suspect but I think he has a better chin than Ward and he knows what to do when he's hurt.
