    I'm not satisfied that he should rank at Featherweight really. He has a win over no one and a win over a shot Super Bantamweight. What can that really tell us? I'd need to see him in with a fresh, decent Featherweight to give me an idea. For all I know he cannot beat Yordan.

    agreed but you could go through the entire rankings and pick fighters apart like that.

    Achievments in other weight classes still counts towards a ranking.

    To me, not when I question how done they are. It's like if Bernard Hopkins moved to Cruiserweight. I question his viability at this point and I'd hesitate to actually rank him past guys who have been fighting there. If I didn't think Vazquez was past done from his last outing and the eye trouble, it'd be a totally different story and I'd say, Marquez wears the weight well and should be ranked. This is just one I don't want to call. Since he called out Darchinyan, perhaps he hesitates to consider himself a viable championship caliber FW too.

    Oh, ...I don't know. I just read that he called out Vic. I shouldn't have assumed about anyone else, I suppose. But considering Vic is not even a top Batamweight, it made me wonder. A featherweight calling out the super flyweight champ and all.

    was it the same people that are in this thread putting him top 3???

    even before saturdays fight either of them are better opponents for him than Penlarosa.

    I have it as:
    1 John
    2 Lopez
    3 Gamboa
    4 Caballero
    5 Marquez

    I really don't see how Dib and Yordan make the list, but Barros does not. In fact, I really don't like any of them on the list right now, but would rather put somebody like Mikey Garcia, or Fernando Beltran Jr on the tail end of the list.

    I wouldnt put him in the top 10 yet, he hasnt done enough at 126 to be placed there IMO. P4P, he's a mile above everyone there tho.
