    in no particular order
    demarco-beat some 1 in the top 15 and looked good
    Guzman-his talent speaks for itself
    Juan diaz-Beaten numerous guys in the top 10 unified the division at 1 point, gave Marquez Hell
    Romanov-has proved hes above euro level
    Anthony peterson-a dark horse whos beaten Gatekeeper level opposittion relatively easily

    I feel bad describing Cassamayor as a contender. Guy has been around forever and done it all.

    i can only pick three from that list...guzman, valero and diaz. i don't think anyone else has a realistic chance of beating JMM
