    Delahoya looked terrible at 160 but at 154 he was possibly the best or top3 at least

    Hearns didnt suck but he lost all his advantages above 154

    Usually fighters who use their weight/size/height/power as their main weapon get owned at higher weights where as skillful types can fight way above their natural weights.

    :lol:

    Totally agree tho, Gomez is conventionally judged pretty harsh at feather. He was definitely well faded by the time of the Nelson battle.

    Far from sucked, he beat the thought to be a future legend Hill at 175 when over the hill, pardon the pun. He also gave Dennis Andries a shellacking there.

    It seems odd that James Toney struggled at 175, when he has been champ at 168 and 190...

    Floyd Mayweather didnt look the best p4p at lightweight, he seemed weak against Castillo and didnt want to get involved with avergae guys like Sosa, he most impressive win was against Ndou who was quite clearly a blown up super feather.
