I hope someone writes a report about his fight with Hasegawa on ESB, Montiel deserves far more exposure.
His stocking rose substantially after the Castillo fight, he prolly was in the top 20 of most people's list but he never capitalized on that win. Just fought low quality fighters and never even called out the likes of Arce, Mijares, Vic and Donaire. He's back on top now and running out of time. A rematch with Hasegawa, Nishioka, or winner of Donaire/Vic II would stamp him in my top 10 list.
Donaire got 1 golden win againts vic, and the rest were just tomato cans. while Montiel destroyed lots of top or mostly top fighters starting from the castillo fight. he should be up there tied with caballero or even slightly ahead of caballero.
and dont forget about his solid wins against gorres (though controversial but a win is a win) and melendez
It seriously is. His best and only quality win was to Darchinyan, and Vic's highest ranking was like what...7 or 8? It's a joke.
its annoying when ****s come on here after every fight and say "such and such should be in the p4p top 10." then come on the next week and say the same about every fighter who wins a fight. the p4p top 10 would have an entirely new set of fighters every 4-6 weeks according to some people's logic on here.
No way:nono Nishioka is gonna beat the crap out of Munroe. Montiel is now deserving of a top 10 ranking i have him at 8 and ive kicked Nonito out.
I disagree Montiel is deserving since Hasegawa was on many peoples PFP list i did a recent poll with ESB PFP list and Hasegawa was 13th(before this fight) Montiel was already highly regarded and beat an accomplished champion who had already made 11 title defenses,Montiel already has some good wins on his resume and this one put him over the top. Nonito hasnt done anything lately he was running on thin ice already by most. He barely cracked the top 10 on that other list being only 1 point ahead of Ward 2 ahead of Bute and 4pts ahead of Hasegawa who was ktfod by Montiel.
