    I see a strong case for Watanabe>Khaosai and I'm not a massive fan of Jiro.

    The 80s into early 90s has been the only strong period so far for 115 as far as possible p4p type talents go.

    Watanabe
    Moon
    Roman
    Laciar
    Galaxy
    Konadu
    Orono

    add in Tapia and Mark Johnson as thebest of the mid-late 90s(his stay was brief but belongs as a talent)

    Maybe Ballas, Poonterat, sugar baby Rojas the best of the 2nd tier.

    Then you've got Romero, Pedroza, Tokuyama, Kawashima, Darchinyan, Castillo, Penalosa, Montiel etc in another crapshoot.

    He was in good form going into his fight with Lopez, it should be noted. But Finito did a number on someone who was thought by some to be his heir apparent and pretty much ruined him in the process.

    I actually enjoyed watching him fight,but i preached caution on him when a lot of posters on here were getting seriously caught up in the hype.Certainly wasn't as big on him as some other good posters were.

    He'd be somewhere among that last group i guess.Would win some lose some.

    I honestly think there is very little between a lot of these guys and they're being separated by little more than a cats pube.

    No Jose Antonio Aguirre? I remember most of the magazines I read in the early 2000's had him ranked divisional No.1 over the course of a couple of years.
