What are your 154 rankings right now after Kirkland's win?

deal

 

Good list, but I think I'd put Kirkland ahead of Lara. Hmm, it's close.

 

Probably something like:

1. Dzinziruk
2. Molina
3. Trout
4. Cotto
5. Lara


6. Williams
7. Alvarez
8. Bundrage
9. Kirkland
10. Margarito
[Martirosyan, Wolak, Rodriguez and Konecny are all bunched up around the same range as the 6-10 guys also]

1-5 are all really close, and 6-14 are all really close. Nobody really deserves to be #1 at the moment, and Dzinziruk stays there by default. His Martinez loss came at 160, and he's been inactive lately, but top to bottom he has the best body of work at 154. I thought Molina clearly beat Lara and Cintron, and Lara clearly beat Williams, so those guys are ranked accordingly. Molina and Trout are the guys with the best series of recent wins, IMO. I still think Trout can clear out the weight class if he ever gets the shot to face some more top guys.

I know people will scream I have Cotto too low, but who the hell has he beaten at 154? An injured (and never that good to begin with) Yuri Foreman, and an old Mayorga who hadn't fought in two years and hasn't been good in five. Cotto's long been one of my favorite fighters, but his current run at 154 is a product of myth, created completely by shifty matchmaking.

 

Schooling williams is a little bit better than stopping angulo imo. Very close.

What are the ring rankings? Anyone have them yet?
