    I've just finished the last of my timelines so I know them well enough yo appreciate how little difference there is once you get below Lopez. Massive kudos for someone trying to sort through that **** pile.

    I agree with flea though it was basically a way for people to avoid the better guys at their weight.

    When going through I stopped ranking after Lopez. I combined it with the lflw division for ranking purposes.

    No he wasn't, you're getting confused.

    Zapata above Yuh IMO. Better opposition beaten.

    I suppose that's feasible.

    I definitely had khaosai in my top ten.

    Zapata above Carbajal and Gonzalez imo.Gushiken definitely better than Sorjaturong, arce, Calderon and probably Estaba too.

    German Torres and Shigeo Nakajima were better than those last guys as well, but to be honest the division is a bit of a crap shoot after the top 5 or 6 standout names.A top 20 or so could be in any kind of order depending on personal preference of fighter.Lots of fighters on a similar level of accomplishment and ability.

    Oh, yeah, didn't notice Yoko wasn't in there. He'd be in there as well, though I'd be happy with him in a 6-10 place.
