    Torres has a glass jaw and may not be able to make the weight anymore. His only good win was against Arnaoutis. He was losing that first Holt fight before he got a bogus hometown stoppage. Torres can punch, but that's about the extent of his "skills".

    seeing that list of names with pac, jmm, campbell and diaz all (some potentialy) moving up to 140 and judah moving down to 140. the jww division is fast becoming one of the best again and potentially the best, especially with 147 losiong some names. lots of good matchups.

    so you consider bradley as the best and hatton 4th based on him beating cherry who is a lightweight with 6 losses? the witter fight was a good win against a very poor witter, but apart from that he's fought no one. when he fights holt we will have a better idea where he stands in the 140 rankings, but even a comfortable win over holt don't mean he beats hatton.

    judah could be a threat to anyone at 140, but he needs to put together a couple of good wins against decent opposition before he walks straight into another big fight. he can't keep living off the past and needs to earn a shot again.

    i just have a strong feeling that judah would have the better of hatton at any weight...

    Just 4 for me,

    Bradley and Malignaggi for skill

    Urango and Torres for power.

    The top two, on their day, can outbox everyone in the division and the other two can, on their day, hurt everyone.

    The rest I don't rate at all.

    Paulie Malignaggi can come back to dominate the division. I stand by my theory that he is one of the best boxers in the World but has been handled badly. He froze against Hatton because he had never gone into such a big fight with the experts divided. Against Cotto he had nothing to lose and it never fazed him. If he can get over the mental problems that will come with the manner of his defeat against Hatton he will come back stronger (mentally) and clean up the division.

    You are completely delusional regarding Paulie Malignaggi(although I wouldn't be surprised if you were hyping him up in order to make Hatton look good). Paulie is a one handed fighter with no power and a suspect defense.

    :lol: Judah? Is this Zab Judah?

    He would have to knock Ricky out in the first 3 rounds, otherwise he has no chance. Zab only fights for three rounds and then let's his opponents beat him down. I don't see Zab winning inside 4.

    I don't rate Hatton as anything other than a good fighter in a weak division to be honest. I know that what I'm saying about Paulie Malignaggi goes against what most people think about him and I understand the criticims he receives. However, theres just something I can't put my finger on that tells me he has a lot more to offer boxing. He will never have power but you don't need power to win a fight just good/great boxing skills.

    Who knows, maybe history will prove me completely incorrect but we'll have to wait and see.

    I think history has already proven you incorrect. He was a huge underdog against a weight drained Miguel Cotto. How was he not able to beat Miguel if paulie is as good as you say he is?

    Tell me about all these supposed boxing skills that Paulie posseses? His footwork isn't that great, his defense is ok, and he doesn't throw any punch well aside from the jab.
