Before I explain the new poll, thanks for the great response to the last poll: "Who is the Beltway Boxer of the Half-Year?" There was more response to this poll (321 votes) and more comments (four pages worth) than any other poll here on the blog.
Here are the results:
Tim Coleman (3) 1%
Nick "Flash" Collins (67) 21%
"The American Dream" Mike Dietrich (93) 29%
Jimmy Lange (16) 5%
Jessie "The Beast" Nicklow (23) 7%
Anthony Peterson (16) 5%
Lamont Peterson (11) 3%
Reginald Taylor (2) 1%
Darnell "The Ding-A-Ling Man" Wilson (74) 23%
Other (16) 5%
The new poll will need some explanation. The Beltway Boxers chosen for this poll have one thing in common: They are currently ranked in the top 15 by at least one of the four major governing bodies (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO) and/or Ring Magazine.
Here's a quick ratings breakdown:
Eric Aiken: #9 IBF -- Featherweight
DeMarcus Corley: #10 WBA -- Lightweight
Keith Holmes: #10 WBA -- Light Heavyweight
William Joppy: #14 WBC -- Super Middleweight
Emmanuel Nwodo: #13 IBF -- Cruiserweight
Anthony Peterson: #1 WBO, #5 WBC, #10 Ring Magazine -- Lightweight
Lamont Peterson: #5 WBA -- Junior Lightweight
Hasim Rahman: #4 WBC, #8 IBF, #11 WBA -- Heavyweight
Tony Thompson: #4 WBO, #10 Ring Magazine -- Heavyweight
Darnell Wilson: #6 WBO, #9 Ring Magazine, #10 IBF, #14 WBA, #14 WBC -- Cruiserweight
Hopefully, this will help you in your choice.
Tomorrow, we will have a special post that will celebrate the second birthday of Boxing Along The Beltway!

It's got to be Tony "The Tiger" Thompson!
Tony is going to have to wait another year for a shot at the wbo...only if wlad klitch.gets in the ring with him can he get a shot at the ibf...everyone else is tied up...unfortunately for tony darnell or anthony peterson may beat him to it
Look at poll fan are crazy vote for Nick Collins, Mike Dietrich, J. Nicklow they are not in the top 15 so how do they get vote the Peterson bros. are rank high maybe because they are the king of the beltway. I think Anthony Tony Darnell well get a shot at championship
Seth Mitchell will be the next world champion. He fights friday at Rosecroft. He will knock someone out friday and he will knock anyone else out there who is in the heavy weight division..
its nice to see that seth has fans,but believe me when i say this. you have no clue what the hell you are talking about. seth is still in the beginner class.
he has the experiance of a seven year old right now.
WoW the next world hvy wieght champ could be Seth Mithel"5 Years" one of the most classeyest people I have ever delt with They will know what to do with next step
and I hope they ask me

I thinks its great to have such an enthusiatic fan base Seth. Realistic there not. Enthusiatic and maybe a little naive. If thats the case Im going to be next heavyweight champion of the world. I just started working out at the gym. Realistically, tony thompson
Seth Mitchell is the best pound 4 pound boxer in the world today.
You can ask the guys he knocked out. They will all tell you the same thing.
SETH MITCHELL will be world champ in 2008
