        Good read. I think Espinoza is the man to beat at 126 though.

            Great article idea!

            However, quite a few of the top dogs I disagree with:
            JMW: Fundora is the top dog as long as Ortiz doesn't fight anyone with a title
            Lightweight: Shakur Stevenson is the top dog.. Roach would have no chance against him
            FW: Nick Ball is clearly the top dog after destroying Vargas (robbed) and Ray Ford. Fulton will need to fight a real champion to be #1..

              Agreed , I was really surprised to see that the article didn't pick him. He's clearly the best in my opinion. It's not even questionable.

                "Saul “Canelo” Alvarez may not be the force he was, but he has turned back all-comers at 168lbs so far.​" Is not fighting his mandatories the same as taking on all comers?

                  The current graveyard that is 160 should be mourned
