    I think it has to be one of these 4.

    Abril: prescott, lundy, acosta, rios.

    De Marco: linares, roman.

    Burns: katsidis, moses.

    Vasquez: prescott, kim, zapavigna.

    Seems burns is getting the most votes atm. I'd have thought it'd be between abril and de marco.

    Aye, I think I agree with the latter. I don't think Burns has done enough at the weight to be considered the #1, yet.

    In my opinion it should either be that de marco became number 1 when he stopped linares and rios failed to make weight, or abril became number 1 last night by schooling rios

    That was actually the first I have seen of Abril last night. Have you seen his losses? The commentators felt they were questionable also...:think

    Vazquez
    Abril
    DeMarco
    Rios
    Burns

    Tough too pick an order from the 4 but I think I'd have Burns, Vasquez, Abril then DeMarco. One things for sure though, they all rank above Rios :deal

    According to *******s you don't have to box in a division to be the best in that division, so he's already the best there.

    Run from Broner, beat Katsidis. **** if I know how that makes you number 1 but this is ESB, 24 hours ago Rios was god and planning on whooping everyone from 130 to 147 in one night.

    I can't find the prescott one on youtube but I'm sure it was televised.

    Kid with this style, in the hometown against unbeaten prospect, he aint getting the decision.

    all he can hope for is that more people will actually see him box and realise his talents.

    I personally don't see anypoint scoring for ineffective aggression as it's, well, ineffective.
