    Ooo Saldivar....man I do love him. I wanted to find a reason to put him in my top 10 but couldn’t find one other than the fact I love him on film

    Can you talk up his resuem for me?

    Also Sanchez....7? I have such a high opinion on him. Incredible talent grest resume...why not higher?

    I think that he's among those very few guys in all the sport who came close to clearing out a division.

    Took multiple #1 contenders, beat the best feather in the world excepting himself 3 or 4 times.

    9-0 in featherweight world championship fights.

    And rounds 10 and 11 against Ramos is as good as it gets on film for a featherweight, possibly.
