who`s the best lightweight in the world now?

[The Fightfan]

I still got to go with Marquez as #1.

[gest12645]

Marquez is the man

[Pugilistic]

To be honest that list is a bit of a joke.

Marquez has already knocked out two fighters on it ( Casa, Diaz) and he will be knocking out Diaz for the second time when they meet. Casamayor and Diaz have done nothing of note since Marquez derailed them.

Guzman isn't a lightweight anymore, and his record there should be 1-1.

Soto has only just started his career at lightweight. He doesn't deserve to be named the man there.

Other options like Katsidis, Mitchell, etc have also not done enough to be mentioned as the man at 135.

Funeka was a top guy at 135 but his recent drug tests meant he was cheating to make weight, he probably won't be a lightweight again.
