I think Funeka's the best LW

what do you think?

Id take Marquez to beat him.

i think he beats marquez now.

He might well be the best. I love fighters like him, it's just a shame he got royally screwed against a Guzman who was way out of his depth.

I'll take Valero to KO him.

He was very impressive tonight, Guzman disappointed me. Not sure if he's the best 135 pounder but I'd love to see him get opportunities to prove it against the likes of Marquez, Valero, Katsidis etc

hes up there but hes not better then j.m.m

Marquez would beat Funeka like a drum.

Probably but I'd love to see the fight anyway! That height & reach is gonna give anyone trouble! He's a very well rounded fighter

Funeka imo will be, I've been saying it for years now. This guy is special, his out there capable of beating anybody. I hope he can get better support though, so he can get credits he deserves.

Shot to you Julius, you been calling it for awhile! He really impressed me tonight. I've been high on Guzman since his 122 days but Funeka beat him up!

The sheer physicality of Funeka in lightweight is the same as Punisher Wiliams is on welterweight. It does not mean that their the most talented but it definitely helps that they're huge for their weightclass.
IMO Juan Manuel Marquez is the best lightweight around skillwise even considering he is probably not on his prime anymore. We have to remember this is the Funeka who was dropped by Nate Campbell twice.

i still think marquez is the best lightweight in the world but funeka isn't far off. if they ever do fight which i doubt they ever will, funeka just might outwork marquez but the thing marquez has going for him that guzman didn't have is power. funeka got dropped by nate campbell and if that was marquez dropping him, marquez would have closed the show. right now i have marquez the top lightweight, funeka a close second and valero third.

Gotta agree with that.Marquez still a notch above.Funeka lets down with range,jab and lets guys get close in spots.JMM would exploit that lapse.

ko win over zahir raheem
tough close fight with nate campbell
busted up and dominated joan guzman

definitely funeka is one of the best lw today.
