    He went 12 rounds with Mares and got a draw. I think Mares is a better fighter than him though. I don't see anything special in him.

    If 1 is trash, 5 is gatekeeper status and 10 is elite...I would rank him a 6 or 7.

    Lol. Not that much of help...I know. Just watch his fights on youtube.

    He is a pretty good fighter. I mean he has a title and is no pushover. He will give anyone in the division a tough time and i think after Mares he is probably the best bantamweight.

    Damn for real?

    Anselmo Moreno, Nonito Donaire and Fernando Montiel are BW too you know.

    He's probably second in terms of his achievements at the weight, he's achieved more than Donaire, Mares even though he may have lost that fight, probably Moreno. I'd argue he's behind Montiel on an achievment basis though. And head-to-head wise he'd probably lose to Montiel, Donaire and Mares in a rematch at least.

    My rankings might be something like:

    01. Fernando Montiel
    02. Nonito Donaire
    03. Abner Mares
    04. Yohnny Perez
    05. Anselmo Moreno
    06. Joseph Agbeko
    07. Vic Darchinyan
    08. Nehomar Cermeno
    09. Koki Kameda
    10. Vusi Malinga

    That's a very quick, rough forecast though. I haven't given it much thought. What's certain is that it's one of the top 3 or 4 stacked divisions in boxing at the moment. So many top fights out there between those guys.

    Thats a pretty good list actually. I'm big on Moreno and if they fought I would pick Moreno.

    He's quite good, a little overrated I feel. He should have lost to both Agbeko and Mares, both those fights were pretty clear wins for the opposition in my opinion. The fights were close though, and Perez is pretty good all round, I think he could probably beat Darchinyan and I wouldn't be surprised if he beat Agbeko tommorow night. He is good enough to compete at the top of the division against anyone, however I think Montiel and Donaire are in a different league, they are absolute standouts IMO. He'd give them both tough fights though.

    He is a decent domestic-grade professional. However, boxing fans will give him more credibilty if he faces European bantamweights Alexander Bahktin, Khabir Suleymanov, Wladmir Sydorenko, or Alexey Makhnenko.

    Oh wow i forgot about those guys.
    Im having a hell of a day.

    Ok in order i would say
    Montiel
    Mares/Donaire Both of these have alot of talent but they havent shown it agains top level opposition yet. They really only have one notable win.
    Perez
    Agbeko

    Moreno i have actually neve seen fight so i cant commnet on him.

    Crazy Soviet. He just named the three top ranked Russian bantams, and threw in a Ukranian for good measure.

    Contrary to a lot of what other people have been saying, I think Perez is outstanding. He throws loads of punches with decent mustard. I also think he has deceptively good movement to keep his opponents off balance.
