    OK.

    Let's say the great Eder Jofre, after losing to Fighting Harada, came back and got the second one.

    After this, Jofre retires as he did anyway, title goes vacant, and Harada gets it back. Both men then have the exact same career trajectory as they did, Jofre coming back at 126, Harada defending and eventually fighting Famechon.

    How much higher would you rank Jofre P4P based on this? Would he be a top 30 fighter of all time with the Harada win?

    As a bonus, how much higher would you rank Harada if he justly got the first Famechon decision and became a 3 weight champ?

    Jofre is a top 30 in my mind anyway but if he was 1-1 with Harada he'd be top 20. Harada is in the 50s somewhere and would be top 40 with the Famechon win. I've seen far worse fighters ranked above Jofre eg pretty much any heavyweight.
