    3 weight division champ...

    Great Ws over
    Frampton
    Mares 2x

    Solid Ws
    Terrazas
    Mijares

    I think a case can be made for maybe 9-10...

    People don't mention him often but I think the case can be made

    I wouldn't be against it. With that said The winner of Russell jr-lsc should be without a doubt

    Imagine if Cruz had power. He's good technically and has insane stamina. Too bad he doesn't have power, he could have been really something special if he did.

    Nah, the resume and skills don't stack up to top 10 level. He's in the top 20.

    Mares and Frampton are the world class elites that LSC has faced. No, it is not enough.
    Just like Spence should not be on any P4P lists(not yet anyways).

    And all three of his wins against them are razor close and anything but dominant.

    I say yes.

    I disagree that his record is an argument against it. IMO he has a far better record than Golovkin and many of the other current P4P guys.

    Ok maybe a lil soon

    But with a win over Gary, he enters IMO

    Cause the bottom 7-10 spots are debatable...

    Some have Spence/Inoue/Keith/Rungvisai

    No. What does Mares x2 mean? Mares was obliterated by Gonzales. Mares was solid but never great at his best.
