    You should pick whichever one you think is better.

    And if you think of someone not listed, who is better still, you can pick them too.

    90s win 8-0, yes I'm even picking Hamed who I'm sure will get way underrated around here. (well Lynch/Brown may win out to - although at 122 I'd take Hamed/MAB as the 90s fighter - they both fought there). And how about Tapia/Ayala?

    There isnt a 122lbs division being contested here.

    Another great match-up here. Lynch is unconventional whereas Arbachakov is very technically sound. I think Lynch's odd rythm and hand speed makes it tough for Arbachakov to time his punches and to get any sort of offence started, placing him firmly in a backfoot, counterpunching role. I can see Arbachakov in the mid-rounds start to land some hard counters on Lynch, but Lynch had a great chin and could soak it up and alter his game up abit andland his own hard shots to take a very exciting but clear UD, in a close match though.

    GPater, not to be a pain, but you have Whitaker fighting at two weights. It should be one fighter per weight, or otherwise Henry Armstrong could fill half the team!

    Excellent analysis though.

    So are you giving Lynch and Brown the wins?

    I don't really pay enough attention below 122lbs to pass judgement BM

    Sorry I thought it was the best in every-weight.

    I'll change it.

    Oscar probably is 2nd behind Whittaker at Welter but IMO Ross beats him and trinidad was Boilermakers second choice so I used him.

    True but Whitaker's prime is 135, where he's near unbeatable, Oscar was green at that weight

    Ross is more of an out fighter and I can't see him out jabbing Oscar/Quartey. He's small next to Quarter/Oscar at WW, surely he's allot more at home at LW. At WW his best shot is against Tito, who was susceptable to being outboxed, but the size issue may see Tito walking him down
