    He seems like a good fighter and just missed making the top 10, partly cause of his spotty record and with Holts out of the ring problems may have affected him. One more quality win and hes in. Maybe you can make a case for him over Peterson but not Diaz,at least not yet.

    Light Welter for depth

    Feather for quality (John, Lopez, Gamboa, Cabellero, Marquez, Vasquez etc)

    No, according to me. When I think someone has better arguments I rethink the standing of the fighter we are discussing. I stand firm when I think my arguments are right. For example I rank Schmeling and Patterson in the Top15 at hw, Ali not in the Top10, well only borderline Top15 and so on. I´m still open minded.

    You on the other hand are stubborn and biased. :yep

    I may be reading you wrong but did you just say you don't rank Ali in your HW top 10?

    Is this your 'heavyweight champions' theory thing? It's ****ing nonsense either way, but just asking.

    Deepest? Featherweight.

    Yuri Gamboa
    Chris John
    Juanma Lopez
    Celestino Caballero
    Orlando Salido
    Cristobal Cruz
    Elio Rojas
    Jhonny Gonzalez
    Daniel Ponce de Leon
    Israel Vazquez
    Rafael Marquez
    Bernabe Concepcion
    Steven Luevano
    Fernando Beltran
    Mikey Garcia
    Rocky Juarez
    Oleg Yefimovych
    Juan Carlos Burgos
    Ryol Li Lee
    Daud Yordan
    Plus about 15 or so more guys who are solid but wouldn't beat the top guys, like Escobedo, Bautista, Lindsay, Lock, Dib, Cordoba, Barros, etc.


    There isn't another weight class out there where you can go 20 names deep to find legitimate contenders.

    Bantamweight, Jr Welterweight, Supermiddle. Although it must be mentioned that Welterweight would make the cut if Floyd and Manny weren't obliterating everyone they faced. Welter's still up there, just not quite as high as it was since Manny took out Cotto and, for all intents and purposes, it looks like Floyd finished Mosley. Feather and Welter would probably round out my top 5.
