    Yea I would agree to that.

    As for the other posters on here, I disagree on some of your guy's choices.

    I still consider Judah a contender.

    If he were to pergaps lose to Mosley in a bad fashion, than Id say he would be a gate keeper.

    Sakio Bika? Nah.... He's a contender in my book.

    Emmanuel Agustus is a good choice, props to whoever said that.

    You consider the IBF, WBO and WBA lightweight champion a gatekeeper?

    I see many people naming Zab Judah. How the hell can you be headlining a PPV and be a gatekeeper? I would like for some of you guys to give me your definitions of a gatekeeper.

    Well, we all know that fight shouldn't be PPV. But that's another issue.

    Of course Zab isn't really a gatekeeper yet. I'm jumping the gun tagging him one. However, he "verfied" Cotto by losing to him, and when he goes down to Shane, he's going to be doing the same thing against either Berto, Cintron, or the PW/ Quintana loser. He's got high level gatekeeper written all over him unless he pulls off something surprising next month.

    I'm standing by calling out Bika. Ask Codrington.

    Fitz, I hope you understand that calling Mosley and Campbell gatekeepers right now is completely indefensible.

    I disagree. I still consider him a low level contender.

    The problem with this thread is that everyones degree of gatekeeper will be differant then others.

    To me... the ones that i think are true gatekeepers are

    Eastman
    Corley
    Monte Barret

    ect

    High level journymean that will usually beat other journymean but come up short against almost every elite fighter, and when you beat them, shows your on your way to elite status. And if you lose to them.... its a big setback.

    A gatekeeper is not a contender... they were beaten usually by the contenders to get into their positions.

    With the case of zab.... he was undisputed champion 5 fights ago... hes a contender right now still being in meaningful fights that are winnable for him, if he loses against mosley in bad fashion i will demote him to a high level gatekeeper.

    cambell.... uuuuuuuuuuuuh...... not even going to dignify that one lol....

    Monte Barret at Heavy; thats who Haye should fight as his first bout up with the big boys.

    Cosme Rivera is a very good choice.

    Zab Judah...no way; he is most definetly still in the mix. The fight with Sugar Shane will tell us a lot more in that regard.
