Crawford should be best lightweight.

Ward is safe until 16 May 2015 as a champion is entitled to 18 months of inactivity.

You could argue Soliman has 2 victories over Sturm, going into the second most had Sturm ranked ahead of Quillin. Sturm also looked fantastic stopping Barker in two. Sturm had also fought a who's who at middleweight over the years, De La Hoya, Castillejo x2, Sylvester, Macklin, Murray, Geale and Soliman x2. Quillins best win was N'Jikam or a Wright that had been inactive for over 3 years.

Vasquez has a greater body of work at 135 at this stage for me. Wins over Prescott, Kim, Zappa, Quintero, Gesta and Shafikov has shown his consistency. Crawford has been impressive but Burns didn't look good in his two fights leading into the Crawford fight and Gamboa had been inactive a year and had one fight at lightweight. If Crawford defeats Beltran you can be assured he will take over the top spot.
