The Little Men - Top 10 SBW down

Roman Gonzalez shouldn't be in there. His record looks impressive, but he isn't anything special. I'd still have Mijares in there, despite the Darchinyan defeat, he's a quality fighter. The others are all good choices, I couldn't be sure of the ordering though.

Just goes to show how packed with talent some of the little divisions are, it's a shame they don't get as much exposure as the bigger guys.

 

Gonzales looked really impressive in winning the title against Niida, who himself is a good fighter. He's only 21 and won world title in his 21ist fight against the top man in his division and isn't anything special?

 

I agree. I'd have Mijares in there.

 

There was hardly a top man in the minimumweight division though, and not any stand out guys.

I've seen the fight, I don't think he looked anything special.

 

I wouldn't have JuanMA above Vic and Nonito beneath The Raging Bull. Other than that, nice list

 

I think you mostly have the right people, but the wrong order. I'd say:

1. Israel Vasquez
2. Rafael Marquez
3. Ivan Calderon
4. Vic Darchinyan
5. Celestino Caballero
6. Fernando Montiel
7. Nonito Donaire
8. Juan Manuel Lopez
9. Hozumi Hasegawa
10. Christian Mijares

Next 5 probably include Solis, Sosa, Gonzalez, Narvaez and Moreno.

This isn't a hypothetical H2H list. Otherwise I'd have Lopez much higher, probably #1. I honestly think he's a top 5 P4P H2H fighter right now.

 

You're an idiot.

 

I find it hard to believe Mijares went from top 5 in this sort of category (and perhaps top 10 P4P) to being dropped OUT of the top 10 based on one loss. That's a tad misguided.

Other than that, a great overall list IMO.

 

Man, Darchinyan is waaaaaaay to low, after Vazquez and Marquez, he's the only one to beat a P4P-er and he did it in style. JuanMa doesn't have the resume yet to be there, especially that high.

At the bottom! :good
