Daniel Ponce de Leon

Featherweight 41 2 0 (34) Last Year s Ranking: Unranked Status Report: Few of us can forget how easily Juan Manuel Lopez annihilated Ponce de Leon in 2008, but the Mexican slugger has come back admirably. In the last year, he beat Orlando Cruz (KO 3), Cornelius Lock (W 10), Antonio Escalante (KO 3) and Sergio Medina (KO 7). He might be caught between styles a bit, but he s still all puncher and is a threat to pancake a guy at any moment. His punch keeps him in any fight and gets him on this list. Future: There are many entertaining possibilities at featherweight. Pick one.
