    You need Bob Foster, somewhere between 1 and 5, probably closer to 1.

    Decent list overall.

    An outside bet: but what about Hamed (from a P4P perspective)? No Louis?

    SRR was probably too obvious. And I picked up Spinks by your telepathy :good

    Nice too see Napoles and Mosley getting a nod in this respect. In particular Napoles: tremendous fighter. :good

    The lightweight or junior welter version in particular. Great power p4p and decent handspeed.
