    He's one of the best but far from the very best. His best win was Zab judah! Maybe Mitchell? Who else? In terms of longevity and dominance he did well as the 140 lbs king......but lets not get too carried away!

    Are you serious? If not in terms of longevity and dominance, how else could you rate a fighter? Do hypothetical matchups weigh heavier than accomplishments?

    Off top....and I'm not even sure HE'S THE BEST....but Sweet Pea! with criteria of substance he warps KT at 140! But Again.....Sweet is on some other level than most anyway!

    Yes! DLH won a contraversial Decison agaisnt him at one point when Sweet was the P4P King! I had it super close but I did give it to DLH by one point! But I was the minority!

    He is a LW at his best...That were he looked at his peak and where he unified.

    Tszyu by KO. Kostya was great at timing fighters and he would time Pac, will land a great great right hand. I wouldn't count out a Pac win though via wide UD or TKO.

    This is True! LW Sweet Pea was a master! WW he did his thing outside of his natural division which is why he was P4P #1!

    Pea's stay a 140 was very short, KT is the greater fighter there based on his record at the weight.

    Thats not to say Whitaker doesnt beat him and just about everyone ever at the weight. And Pernell is by some margin a greater fighter overall.

    I just think saying KT is "far from the very best" at the weight is way off the mark..And seems to contradict your earlier statement in that sentence that he was "one of the best".
    Tsyzu is clearly in the top tier at 140 when it comes to resume...Maybe he sits a little lower in a H2H sense but not to much.

    Kosta would land that straight right and make Pac do the Zab chicken dance.
