For me there is not much between Benavidez and Smith, although Benavidez already has a title. Ramirez hasn't looked stellar recently.

Question here is, should Smith be ahead of these guys and especially ahead of Benavidez?
Basically a coin flip between Smith and Benavidez, they have similar form. Fielding just pulling off a big upset for the WBA title is a nice bump for Smith. Groves is clearly no.1 on career record and form. Perfect setting for the Ring belt really.

On a side note I'd give Eubank Jr a great chance against Rameriz and Degale (current shot version). And Uzcategui is a good style matchup for him although he might come off second best in the punchup.

I'm not sure if Smith or Benavidez beats Uzcategui, I would expect them both to beat Ramirez though.
