Weir and Buttle
I think both men are equally great with many of the same strengths. However, I believe Weir has an edge due to his competitive history. Johnny got noticed after he won U.S. Nationals last year and finished 5th in his first Worlds. Buttle is yet to win Canadian Nationals and to my knowledge he has never placed significantly at the WC. While it is possible to come out of nowhere (Oksana Baiul in 1993), it is very difficult. Johnny has also been more consistent on his jumps. The judges will probably give it to Weir in a close call.
I think Jeff is cute and sweet ... but that is another matter entirely ...
