    Quigg-Tidy fighter in my view and I reckon he stops Frampton. . I’d love to see Rigo and him tie one on. Quigg reminds me of Roman Gonzalez a little with his offense and punch selection. I think he makes Rigo fight and opens it up. Nice style clash imo. Would also like to see a Santa Cruz showdown. Scott is in the top 3 in the world at 122

    Saunders-I was really impressed with the Lee fight. I saw a side of Saunders I was a little blinded by which was his solid D. Head movement, slipping punches, lateral movement, shoulder rolling etc* etc and some real tricky shots and counters delivered. I hope he fights the Kazak but he has to want to or its all for not. If he wants to wait and milk it a bit so be it. That kid with the famous dad is going to come callin.He's also a top 3 in the world guy at 160. Love to see him and Jacobs. Wide open division outside of Genghis Golovkin.

    Smith-He’s a pretty good fighter but he’s in a fairly top heavy division. He may beat the Trouts and Clotteys of the world but I don’t see him sticking with the Charlo's, Andrade or Lara. He’s in tough over the long haul. Tough solid guy but I don't see him as a world beater

    Crolla-An overachiever. Lightweight looks competitive but its not all that deep. Another British showdown between him and Flanagan beckons but he’s got an optional I think so that’s one that could build. I'd go with Terry in a unification. The top 5 or so are pretty steady at 135 and really it’s a division that could change title holders a lot.

    Selby- Diamond in the ruff this kid. Power is not imperative but he looks like a guy that should have more of it. Skills pay the bills though and he's pretty savvy in that ring. Pretty deep weight area. We want to see the best fight the best and sort it out. Loma, Cruz(assuming he does not go back down), Russell Jr, whoever. Its another fairly good div that seems dormant.

    Frampton-He's in the top 3 to 5 of his division I believe but he kind of hangs his face in front of his body and he has not looked like the same guy as he was pre Martinez. He looked a little befuddled against Gonzalez but in fairness, that kid would trouble anyone in the division. I don't think he gets off the floor twice against Quigg to win on points. I think Quigg gets him in trouble and stops him. I'm pleasantly surprised that they were able to pull this one off. Its got the makings of a great trilogy.

    Flanagan-I think he beats Anthony and likewise probably anybody else at 135 presently. He's a big kid and I'd wager he has issues making weight. He might be the toughest guy in the division also but he's beatable too. I doubt Matthews holds out in February but he's a live spoiler fighting in his home town.
