    after winning the undisputed championship at a higher weight against a much bigger opponent? He was top 15 in many lists before...

    Top 5 would even be fair for him. Top 10 without dispute.

    I agree he deserves to be in the top 5 p4p. At this moment he is the best pure boxer outthere and the best since Pernnel Whitaker.

    He's a superb boxer but his lack of power means he shouldn't be rated higher than 10.

    Yeah, Whitaker would of been pound for pound the best for much of the 90's; but the lack of power killed him. I suppose he sneaked into my top 10 after holding Chavez to draw; but just for that week mind.

    Wait hes a 2 weight WBO champ, he hasnt cleaned out or unified with the other minimumweight champs and hes only jumped up 3lbs to light-flyweight to fight for another WBOgus belt.

    Some dispute hes the best minimumweight around.

    Just because he lacks power doesn't mean he doesn't deserve top 10 status

    I think that his lack of power is exactly what gives him his p4p status. The fact that he has enough talent to make up for size and power deficincies is quite impressive.
