    0 - Yo Sam Choi
    9 - Yul Woo Lee
    8 - Jorge Arce
    7 - Jake Mtalata
    6 - Myung Woo Yuh
    5 - Humberto Gonzalez
    4 - Yoko Gushiken
    3 - Michael Carbajal
    2 - Jung Koo Chang
    1 - Hilario Zapata

    This is the top 10 list taken from Boxing scene, and the criteria is based on a points system, similar to that of Sweet_Scientist's criteria. They seem to be weighing up how many world champions the fighters defeated, and how many title defenses were made. That seems to be the most important factors given. I do want to clarify that it does say if it was a head to head list, that Chang would probably come out on top. This is based purely on statistics it would seem.

    Any arguments? I can only say that I think Yuh demonstrated more sides to his game than Gonzalez or Carbajal ever did, made more title defenses, and avenged his only one defeat. Seeing at this list doesn't really consider any of that, I can understand the rankings, but Yuh would be just behind Chang, Zapata, and Gushiken for me.

    He came in at 20. ...And rightly so. Fought nobody worth mentioning at 108lbs. Stop with your nonsense, Anarci. Lopez was so utterly confident he'd dominate at 108 he waited for the division to rot before moving up.

    You're a f'n idiot.

    Chang is the de facto no.1. No doubt in my mind

    Is there a chance we could be overrating Gushiken? His resume wasn't on the level of either Zapata or Chang. He would slot in at 3...and I think there's a legitimate argument to be made that Yuh could make the third spot...especially when you consider I'm a fan boy. :lol:

    Well Zapata and Gushiken are inter-changeable IMO. I just personally prefer Gushiken i actually am probably overrating him but oh well

    I can see Yuh>Gushiken but Yoko was also consistent and looks better on film IMO.

    I say Gushiken, though have no worries with it going the other way :good

    Both of them>>>>>Lopez

    And you are a ***** net warrior.

    He would have beat Chang up worse than Chiquita did.

    You aren't seriously suggesting Lopez should be on this list are you?

    No i dont think so since he only had 3 fights there,but he did beat 3 good fighters who were former champs Vorapin,Potlelo and the talented Grigsby. He beat them prett easy too.
    What im saying is in HTH matchup he would beat those guys.
