    He's top 20, not top 10. Stacked division is the only reason why, his credentials are just fine. Lynch and Moore proved he's not quite in the very top tier, I think.

    Williams above Lynch is a shout considering Lych KO Williams, and Williams obviously being in his class as a great.

    It's quite a deep division on the sly, espcially in terms of closely matched guys.

    In no order you have names like:

    Ortiz
    Al Brown
    Jofre
    Palmer
    Marquez
    Zarate
    Hasegawa
    Walsh
    Lora
    Austin
    Escobar
    Harada
    Canizales
    Pintor
    Ayala
    Graham
    Toweel
    Williams
    Perez
    Olivares

    I know hasagwa looks laughable now considering his chin, but up until the morales fight he was a force to be reckoned with from a technical p.o.v.

    I can see Hasegawa in the top 20, no doubt Lufcrazy....

    Bushy Graham is a interesting mention....don´t know much about him....

    He beat lynch and schwartz as well as some other good names.

    He was outshone by the taylor and canzoneri fight but over the course of about 3 years aggregate he was arguably the best bw in the world.
