Who is the best light welterweight right now?

[tonyjones]

It's a hard question. But only between peterson/Matthysse/
garcia.
I voted Garcia but We will have to see how he does against the others.
But seriously who woul vote Amir Khan he's just fast and if you time him he is done lol.

And KO's are not flukes. If it happens it wasn't an accident. Fighters I like get KO'ed and I don't say "oh it was a fluke it could never happen again the guy that Ko'ed my fighter still sucks"

boxing is littered with fluke kos that once rematched clearly shows who the better is.Im not a khan fan but if you really believe all he has is speed you clearly havent a clue

Lucas without a doubt.

I don't think there is one right now, it has yet to be decided.

i'd go with Matthysse, but I see alot of potential in Khabib

Reminds me of this:

[Tom Cruise]

I went with Matthysse. The options i considered were Khan, Garcia, Peterson and Matthysse due to resume (Judah has resume but obviously quite old). While I dont think LM is some kind of atg i think he does best in a head to head with these other 3.

Surprised Khan hasnt got more picks though, wins over Kotelnyk, Judah, Malignaggi, Maidana and very debatable (and imo drug tainted) loss to Peterson definitely puts him up there.

Marquez

Why isn't he listed?

Marquez

Why isn't he listed?

I was thinking about including JMM and Broner too...

But Marquez had his last fight at welterweight and will have his next fight in that division, and Broner's never fought at 140, although he's very likely to in the future.
