Grade a Fighter

[John Locke]

Featherweight top 10:

1. Lomachenko = A+, potentially the future P4P king. Unbelievably skilled. Obviously still needs to build a resume, but I've already got him in my top 10 P4P based on skill alone.

2. Walters = B+, hits hard as hell, got decent skill as well.

3. Mares = B+, relentless di*k puncher, good skill, solid resume. I think the Gonzalez KO damaged him mentally and it's taking him a while to recover, but he's still got time on his side. It would be great to see him back at his best.

4. Gonzalez = B, I would grade/rank him lower based on skill but the Mares win was incredible, he's a solid fighter but that's it, I don't rate him too highly.

5. Sonsona = B+, this guy has got talent and power but apparently doesn't live the lifestyle a boxer should. If he gets his act together, I see him being around for a long time.

6. Gradovich = B, you get non-stop action with this guy. He doesn't stop coming forward. It's a shame he lacks power otherwise he would be a force to be reckoned with.

7. Velez = B, I thought he was lucky to get the draw against Gradovich, but he's a good young fighter. I hope the Sonsona rumours are true, that would be a hellova fight.

8. Vetyeka = B-, crafty fighter, but lacks that special something.

9. Cuellar = B-, good overall fighter, I'd like to see him take on some of the guys I've listed above.

10. Selby = C+, decent fighter but that's all. I don't see him giving Gradovich much trouble.

Forgot about Russell Jr, I'd have him between 5-7, so take Selby out and move everyone else down by one

[BOXEO _]

If you have Chavez at B level you gotta put Rios at B level too.

I'd also put Salido up at B level.

I'll update in a few.

I'd also put Salido up at B level.

Yeah I'm leaning towards a C level fighter myself but he was the first to mention him so I placed him there. Now that you don't agree with his grade as neither do I, what grade would you consider Chaves?

I think Chaves is a C grade fighter.

Russell Jr = B+ btw

I thought Chaves beat him, clearly by about 3-4 points if you take away the ****** point deductions from both sides. Chaves has got some skill, he can box and ****, decent defence as well.

I guess you should wait for more people to give their opinions/rankings but that doesn't seem likely. I swear people on here only seem to be interested in Pac and Floyd, whenever you post a thread about other fights/subjects, it doesn't get many responses.

Only like 10% (at most) people on here actually follow the sport and understand it. The rest are Pac and Floyd fanboys who know about nothing outside of those two.

Will add Russel.

Yeah I moved Chaves down to C+ for now, seeing as how Boxeo and I don't think he's a B grade fighter just yet. Perhaps other posters disagree and I could move him back up in the near future. Thanks alo't for all of your contributions. Very solid lists, although there's a few I don't completely agree on but that's boxing for yah.

Fair enough.

I might do my top 10 for light heavyweight after I have something to eat

[John Locke]

Light heavyweight:

1. Kovalev = A
2. Mekhonstev = A
3. Beterviev = A-
4. Gvozdyk = B+
5. Pascal = B
6. Chickenson = B
7. BHop = A
8. Alvarez = B-
9. Chilemba = B-
10. Fonfora = B-

I've ranked a few of the guys highly based on amateur achievements + eye test. BHop obviously is A level based on skill, resume etc, but as a top level guy he's no longer got it.

I think Chaves is a C grade fighter.

I'd put him at B level, I think he's well above average at welterweight.
