    ****. I voted Adamek before reading the actual question in the post. If they had a round robin and everyone fought everyone, I think Alexeev would come out on top.

    I also think Chad Dawson could move up and clear out the entire division.

    Thats Colin Jones

    He fought out of the boxing club behind my back garden

    and fought in America twice in 1983

    2 fights with Milton McCory for the WBC World Welterweight Title

    and fought Don Curry for the WBA World Welterweight Title

    Sadly he just missed out on winning a World Title

    But he was unlucky against McCory who he had the beating of

    maybe then

    but since then he fought Haye in a big unifcation

    Haye was the NO 1 in the division.........the guy who destroyed Mormeck

    Enzo cannot be called protected after that

    And in the one fight he had against a good fighter, he was dominated for every second of the fight...

    yes but thats why enzo cant be thought as the best cruiserweight. The time he does take a step up in class he is knocked the **** out in 2 rounds.

    Adding 20 pounds of muscle usually improves a guy's chin, plus Dawson wasn't seriously hurt. He was pretty much fully recovered by the time the 8-count was over. I don't think it's disputable that:

    1) Dawson has the frame to easily carry an extra 25 pounds without losing too much in terms of speed and flexibility; he'd just look more like Steve Cunningham.

    2) Dawson is a better technical boxer than just about anyone at 200 (outside of maybe Alexeev, but I think he takes Alexeev on style), and could probably outbox anyone in the division if guys were wearing headgear and sparring gloves.

    3) Nobody knows whether the power of a 200 pounder would be too much for him to handle.

    4) The only fighter who has given him serious problems is Glen Johnson, a constant pressure fighter, and there are no good pressure fighters at 200 at the moment.

    I'm guessing he'd be just fine at 200, and that someday he'll be just fine at 230 as well. But I could be wrong about whether his chin can handle it.

    I'd say Adamek, but I think Flores is up there so I voted for Flores
