Ever though he's been taken off the poll, I would have no problem with Cintron getting the spot.

Have to go with David Lopez no doubt.He was ranked in our Middleweight top ten prior to dropping down to 154 and is vastly improved despite record.His nickname is deceiving but I think he's a sleeper and very capable tricky boxer.Off win over Duran if I'm parsing who had lost close to James Kirkland & ko'd Moore although a few years ago.....Lopez also beat Lyell.....by Tko.

I like Vanes but he is just getting his head above water and showing some consistency,still green and I think he's leagues behind Lopez.

Cintron is already in at 9th

Daaayuuumn, Britain's Own Jamie Moore™ is falling behind, what would Steve Bunce say??

Probably something ridiculous like this, but aimed at Vanes Martirosyan

Good call on Lopez & everything you say is true, but he is ranked at middle & I'm still not entirely sure if his intentions still lie there or not

When he gives up his JMW title then he can be ranked at MW....How can you rank a fighter that does not campaign at the weight full time?

If that was the case AA should be ranked at SMW not just in the pool

Have to agree with that.In his case hes all over the map...and still talking Welterweight.Filling a 10th spot by vote is one thing but its ebbing upwards now?

Middle in particular does have many vacant spots and soon to be another as Lopez has stated that he will be campaigning at 154.

But Abraham has yet to fight at SMW. If he did fight there and beat a fighter of Winky's calibre, and if SMW was as weak a division as MW with several vacant rankings, I would have no problem with ranking Abraham at SMW.

I have no problem at all with fighters being ranked in more than one weight class if it's warranted. If they haven't fought in a division in more than a year they will be removed from those raknings.

There are 3 vacant spots in the division, one of which Williams will fill. We will then put forward other candidates to fill out the other vacant spots. This does require people to actually show up & vote though.

I gotta go with Moore, he has not lost since 2004 and he has beaten pretty good comp, he really only has 2 real losses the third was a DQ...

I'm all for seeing vacancies filled in a timely manner but dont like the idea of voting in that many fighters.The 10th spot is one thing but 3 is too many I believe.Clearly the division is in flux and I think we should think it through before we just start stuffing guys in as opposed to waiting for actual matches to determine ranks....I would leave at least one spot open.

I personally have no problem with voting for positions, most of the active managers are pretty fair & can put forward a good case for a nominee.

I think Williams' win over Wright was worthy of rating, I also think the winner of the upcoming Macklin/ Barker fight could qualify for another spot. Then someone like Geale could be possible for 10th...
