    The problem here is that in several fights prior to meeting with Griffo and in Griffo fight too McAuliffe showed up out of shape. It is mentioned vs Ryan, vs Leeds, vs Myer (correct date for this fight is December 10, not December 16 as boxrec and CBZ list it). Against Griffo Jack weighed as a welterweight (Griffo himself weighed as a lightweight, also being not in very good shape). So it may be somewhat difficult and subjective to deside what it was, him not training properly or being on the downslide. My opinion is the 2nd one.

    Morales & Barrera should be on the list, they were better than fighters like Trinidad IMHO who you have ranked at 64.

    :good Agreed and not having Ruben Olivares is a glaring omission.

    Why not have a peak at the list first before you start whining? Or at least get some reading glasses.

    Don't you have some old Mexicans to make up your mind for you?;)

    I've seen more than enough Barrera to know the ins and outs of his style and abilities, thank you. Borderline great, in my opinion, but that's admittedly a minority one.

    These two are bona fide top 100 guys IMO.

    Mainly because he was not giving the chances. He has some amazing wins and a superb resume overall. IMO he is better than Moore and greater.

    He accomplished more at Middleweight and Heavyweight than Moore IMO, with Light-Heavyweight being close.

    Why? Odd one that.

    Wheres Jimmy Bivins out of interest?

    I'm just away to check the new list so apoligies if he is in it.
