      then you have unbeaten prospects like:

      Tabiti
      Michael Hunter
      Noel Gevor
      Issa Akberbayev

      Then you have guys still hanging around like
      Huck
      Glowacki, no shame in losing to one of the best boxers on the planet.
      Wlodarczyk

      Then you have Beasts like Kudryashov and Chakhiev who are flawed but punch like mules, and their fights never go beyond a few rounds.

      And a ton of other's.

      And i saved the best till last. you know who it is.

      ...

      RICKY CONLAN SON
      How in the **** is Dorticos the cruiserweight version of Ortiz?? Because he's Cuban???
      Beginning to understand your criteria for judging boxers.

      And Ricky Conlan got blasted away at 175 before he became a king at 200. That should tell you something.

      Most of these guys would be fringe contenders at 175 or heavyweight.

        I dunno

        My opinion is there isn't a hot division at the moment. Right now if someone said "Hey Anon2.0, if you could apply a Super 6 tourney to a division, which one would you choose?" I would have to choose none of the above.

          Rances is moving to 140. He was the best fighter in that weight class.

          But I think Pedraza is moving up, so maybe they can do Pedraza vs. Easter?

            Funny cause lightweight a couple of years ago was in his worst time in history, Figueroa was one of the best champs and today he probably wouldn't beat any of the current champs.

                Because he's a talented cuban boxer puncher who no one wants to fight...

                As for you're other 'point'. I was clearly joking, grow a sense of humour will you, now bore off.

                  Dorticos is a basic Orthodox fleet footed boxer who works primarily behind the jab with decent power and non existent inside game.

                  Ortiz is a flat-footed southpaw slugger with some of the heaviest hands in the division that does practically everything with the left hand and knows every trick in the book. He's also one of the craftiest inside fighters I've ever seen.

                  Night and day.

                      Ortiz is as flat footed as they come.

                      And calling me a cretin doesn't make up for your complete lack of observation skills.
