Jim Driscoll top ten FW ATG?

I see so many discussions involving Driscoll being one of the very greatest FW fighters in history and I feel like I'm not getting something.

I get that he beat Attell in a ND fight according to some sources, but Welsh had just beaten Attell himself.

As far as I can tell that's pretty much all Driscoll did as a FW?

As I said, I feel like I'm missing something.

 

Yeah I think from any kind of viewpoint in terms of resume, achievement, or H2H sees him comfortably outside the top echelon.

I mean from what I can see, I see no reason to consider him a greater FW than Hamed for instance.

 

He looks good on film, but there's plenty of FW guys who look better imo.

 

But why is he clearly above Naz, this is what I don't get?

Why is he do firmly in the top ten?

Tell me what I'm missing because I feel like there's something that should be smacking me in the face with this guy and I'm doing my best Ali impression to avoid it.

 

I got the typo, I was actually tempted to correct it in my reply but thought that a bit presumptive.

Ok so we have a great champion in Attell who Driscoll "beat" plus his dominance over the domestic scene.

Is the combination of those two enough for a clear top ten placement?

I mean if say we compare his resume with Naz. He has the best individual victory, but then the rest of his resume doesn't stack up does it?

 

Ah so it was a double typo. That makes more sense to me now.

I agree Attell is a clear top ten.

Tbh I made a bit of a sweeping statement but I don't know the rankings of that time so for all I know he could have been beating top ten type guys.

 

This makes sense in my head.

But I see some claim Driscoll is a lock for top 5 etc and I don't get it.
