And at 168lbs, Ward and Dirrell are far more impressive to me than Bute. Maybe they don't have the most attractive styles but they're getting the job done against top class opponents. Ward's Kessler win and Dirrell's Abraham win were both very impressive to me, much more so than the fringe players Bute is cleaning up.Personally it's the combination of being 100% proven over a long, strong career added to his recent Kameda win which I found really impressive and also kind of catapulted him back into relevency. I'll be honest I have no idea what he's got planned next though or whether that was his last hurrah. Would've thought Koki's people would look for a rematch but maybe he can't make weight any more or something.
Montiel's fought three times already this year and will probably fight again before the year end, should he win that one too he'll be my personal pick for fighter of the year. Plus, like Wonjongkam, he's proven himself thoroughly and has no chance of being 'exposed' or anything.
Segura: his win is just fresh in my mind and Calderon is probably one of the best scalps you can take in all of boxing despite him getting on a bit. He's borderline I guess.
I kind of agree with you on 140lbs, the fighters there are starting to lose their luster a little bit. I think Bradley has a nicely rounded record and strong run of form though.
Agree 100% on Donaire. When he actually fights someone I'll happily put him up there with the best as he's supremely talented, but until then no.
Moreno's a really good little fighter who's really been grafting over the last few years picking up wins over tough fighters often away from home. His two wins in 2010 are both over Cermeno who's one of the most awkward fighters in all boxing right now. I'm tipping him to win that bantamweight tourney too.Comment

Castillo wasn't shot. He was still formidable.
That is the great thing about bantamweight though. Damn near every fighter in the top 10 is a name. The best division in boxing.
I can give you some good fights of his. But, I would let you know off the bat he is not YOUR cup of tea kind of fighter. He really doesn't have that big of a pop, is a ring general, a master boxer, a defensive fighter, a somewhat poor man version of Pernell Whitaker( is not an insult to Moreno).Comment
