Is Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon Top 10 p4p?

No problem bro.

 

if he unified, yes. as of now, no.

 

Not yet, he has fought pretty weak opposition and I have a hard time ranking him over many more proven fighters. In reality he's never fought an elite fighter- It's not really his fault though, the competition in the lower weight classes is awful (even guys like Cazares are pretty bad). Don't get me wrong though, I still think he is in the top 10-15 area.

 

the punches fly faster down there, the way he avoids them is beautiful. 8-10 P4P

 

He is definetely top 10 p4p,the guy has mad skills

 

off the top of my head i put him number 8

 

Ivan could be at 10 like Doug Fischer said. Calderon wants to go up to 112, it will be hard as hell since he doesn't have the power but if he fights Solis and beats him, there could be a case for him going up in the P4P rankings. After all Solis lost to Dieppa and Calderon won against Dieppa 120-108.

Only time will tell, he can't fight in 120 days because of the cut against Hugo.

 

hate double posts.

 

Yes and he's benn in my top 10 for quite sometime now.

 

Yes top ten for me as well

 

Definite 9 or 10 spot on mine. i LOVE watching this guy... technicality at it's purest form.

 

You overrate the hell out of him based on his success against C level opposition. He's a limited fighter who'd likely get overwhelmed by anyone that could be considered elite. Very good at what he does, but his style is an example of one that usually only works when either the opponent plays his game(such as an inept D level fighter like Dieppa) or simply has no skills(Cazares).

He's very slick, and great to watch when faced with the level of opposition he's faced throughout his career, but he's just not nearly versatile enough to be thought of as highly as he is. I wouldn't favor him over any of the elite 105-108 pounders throughout history, aside from Niida.

 

Calderon is on my top ten, however, if he unified, there would be no doubt on his P4P status.
