I know Jeff Horn couldn't be in the top 10 yet but he has faced stiffer opposition in 7 fights then what Tomlinson& Browne have fought in 20 odd fights

all the weakest champs in recent years have been at light welter... Khan, Rees, Witter, ****ing fat past it Erik Morales, Peterson, Mbaye, Kotelnik.. I could go on and on

Light middle is poor you got average guys like Aandrade and Molina holding world titles lol
Featherweight -Simpiwe Vetyeka and Nicholas Walters are champs there for ****s sake

Light Welterweight
Light Middleweight
Featherweight

there is no way those 3 are better than middleweight not a chance

He said currently you idiot, and IMO Andrade could jump to 160 and beat Felix Sturm & Geale. I didn't mention Walters as a top dog, he is about the level of Sturm.

Dib was exposed twice over by Gradovich who is solid but not great and probably wouldn't have lifted a world title off anyone else while still a green 15-0 novice, and Dib was thoroughly outclassed in both meetings (the scoring in that SD was bull****; it ought to have been a wide UD for Gradovich)

In the interim he eked out a MD over Mike Oliver, having to resort to old tricks.

Prior to Gradovich I, he was a paper titlist, plain and simple. Among the weakest in the sport. Fouling to victory with a guardian angel referee over Lacierva (in a #3 vs. #2 battle for a vacant belt in which neither Lacierva nor Dib had done anything to deserve such a high ranking - Lacierva having just picked up his first win at feather in five years, Dib having not competed at the weight limit in over a year himself with a handful of stoppages of journeymen at super feather & lightweight in the meantime) was a poor enough start - but the Servidei defense? :-( Mexican domestic level Escobedo (against whom Dib again needed to use a nearly endless barrage of low blows, which still didn't prevent him being nearly KTFO himself circa the 4th, IIRC - and hurt badly again shortly before the retirement...)?

Ironically his best opponent in that stretch may have been the one the IBF deemed unworthy of contending, Juan Antonio Rodriguez, who arguably got screwed on the cards in a non-title affair.

That reign was a sham. Gradovich is no elite beast, just a solid young fighter.

His pair of dominant performances simply means we don't have to rate Dib anymore (which only was done before with great reluctance due him technically holding a world title belt)

Dib has never in his life has a run of success the likes of:

Toney/Walker/Towers for Browne
Walker/Beck/Wilson for Leapai (let alone that Boytsov trumps any single Dib victory by a huge margin)
...or hell, even Bryant/Singwancha/Suico for Left Jab (and once again, though he may not have deserved the Bursak win, it was a competitive showing with someone who trumps anyone Dib has an official win over)

He did beat a guy who went the distance with Ponce de leon. Eduardo Escobedo their was some fouls though I admit still while he's not great I rate himabove Browne and Tomlinson(who I prefer myself).
