    usba titlist at 122 and mandatory to molitor.

    This guy has beaten some good contenders/prospects on his way to a 21-0 (7) record:

    al seeger 27-2
    cruz carbajal
    gary stark 18-1
    adam carrera 18-1

    but when I watch him fight, he just seems to not have that extra component to make himself a titlist and/or top fighter at 122. Hes older (28) and has little power, but he's an aggressive southpaw. thoughts?

    He is a solid fighter but not really world champ material.

    I swear I have this memory of him always swelling easily, not sure though.

    I think a fighter with that little power should be a little more slicker aswell.

    Not reason why he cant get a title off a weak champ but no one at 122 is weak. He may be able to take some rounds of Ponce De Leon but sooner or later I think he gets axed in that fight.
    Vazquez, Marquez and Callabero wouldnt have much trouble with him at all.
