    I think Dzinz should be ranked number one but that doesn't mean he is the best.

    Who is actually the best? I will go with Martinez, a gamble, but he is a wildcard, no big names and much improved sense the Margarito loss ages ago, the other guys we kind of know their level, its possible that Martinez is better than all of them.......or not.

    I voted PW, but my heat says Forrest. Haven't seen the Eurotrash fighters yet, but heard they were good.

    cant disagree there.....i could of added him over Mora, but Mora does has that big win over Forrest

    but uhh.....it's a competitive division these days and only 10 slots on the poll

    Santos should fight Williams next btw...

    Nobody would clear out the weight class at the moment, IMHO. If everyone important fought everyone else important, I think Santos would end up with the most wins out of the group, so I went with him, even though he did lose to Dzinziruk. I think Santos still keeps it close and possibly even beats Dzinziruk in a rematch, probably beats Williams, and beats just about everyone else.

    i dont know, i can honestly see Martinez beating everyone on that list, his style would be a problem for everyone...Santos has a very similar style but he's just not as fast as Martinez

    I love Mayorga. I think even today Vernon Forrest would **** himself before climbing in the ring with that mother****a.

    On his night I would say the Viper is still a level above the rest; hard to say how much he has left though.

    I'll wait and see what Williams comes up with in the next couple of fights, but it was a very impressive result for him against Phillips.

    I feel that Daniel Santos has been criminally underrated for years; he's an excellent boxer and also a contendor for top spot.

    Dzindziruk has very good ring skills and would be a handful for anyone in the division.


    I think its a very tightly packed division, but I'll stick with old master Forrest for now.
