    Even without adding the 168 guys in, 175 is bit of a pig to rank.

    And he didn't look particularly good in any of those fights. Considering the Rivera kd and the fact he gets stressed with glancing blows (Collazo and Quintana hurt him in the 1st round) I reckon he'd get stopped early doors. The Mosley that fought Floyd (and wouldve been fresher in January) Pac, Floyd would smash him IMO.

    I'd give Saul a good chance of beating him, even now and I don't buy into Canelos hype either.

    Guess that proves your point :hey


    (Unless that was the obvious joke in which case I thought I'd point it out anyway)

    Hernandez looked, and fought, like Cristiano Ronaldo. Re-watch it, you'll see.

    I didn't know what to do with Hopkins so I just left him out!! I usually rank based on the judges decision and I already had Pascal at the lower end of the top 5 so I'd probably put Hops lower than that, even though I had him winning the fight.

    Ishy I'm disappointed you did not include Sillakh. You of all people. You've let the team down here.

    Boys, I cannot see JuanMa over Gamboa myself.

    No one else see Bradley/Khan over Berto?

    High rankings for Alvarez I see? Reasons?

    Two good attempts at Fly :good Good work everyone.
