2. B-Hop: He only gets the edge prime for prime over Winky due to size. However I still say he beats the rest, and he was a true fundamentalist of the sport even though he is a little more unorthodox than people give him credit for... I've hardly ever seen a guy catch somebody like he did Tarver so many times looking at the ground.
3. ODLH. went 1-1 against Mosey, Beat Trinidad, fought Chavez and Whitaker, Beat Vargas more impressively IMO than Trinidad, IMO squeezed by Quartey, Gave Hopkins a good fight at middleweight until the size differential kicked in.
4. Trinidad: hard puncher, proven he couldn't beat the very best, but looked more impressive than them against quality opponents.
6. Mosley: Godly fast, and amazingly powerful for his size, but he wasn't all that great at 147 and up... Without his overwhelming power like he had at 135 he wasn't the best boxer, and he had the Meldrick Taylor complex where he always has to bang with the opponent even when its failed him.
Ike Quartey: amazing fighter who was the only one I've seen to truly hurt Oscar, and he knocked him down first. But his fight with Vargas puts him behind Mosley.
Tito could and did fight and beat the best!
And winky beat him at middleweight.. So that's not really sticking to the topic of best of the new millenium in the separate weight classes!
