Santa Cruz isn't the best... Russell would knock him out easily within 8 rounds.

This brings in more clarity of who should fight who. Everybody always talks about loma going up to face garcia etc, i think loma is at his perfect division & should stay. Santa cruz is tall, could add some muscles and challenge the p4p king. After kovalev knocks out ward, a action packed should happen, gvozdyk seems to be the best lh. He arguably has more punching power than kovalev, is taller with longer reach, younger and techniquly superior.

LW: Linares (Mikey wouldn't be an incorrect answer either, though)
SFW: Lomachenko
FW: Santa Cruz/Russell Jr. (tough call)

He has a better overall resume than GRJ, and GRJ's only real win is over Jhonny Gonzalez. Santa Cruz has Frampton, Mares, and Mijares on his resume.

Good list.

Yeah unlike kovalev/ward ggg/jacobs was realy close. I thought jacobs won, rewatched the fight and g winning by 1 round. Both were tremendous and there should definitly be a rematch after the big bang which is ggg vs canelo.
