1 Yudai Shigeoka 2 Petchmanee CP Freshmart 3 Ginjero Shigeoka 4 Oscar Collazo 5 Melvin Jerusalem 6 Daniel Valladares 7 Masataka Taniguchi 8 Mark Cuarto 9 Erick Rosa 10 Wilfredo Mendez Something like that? What do you think? Ginjero done enough to get the number two slot? PCPF has done a lot of good work over the last two years in his division, he's been in among fine fighters even allowing for that pointless rematch...what about Mendez, done enough to hang in there?
It's a pretty good top 10. If you ask me, which you didn't eheh, I would just put Valadares over Melvin and Collazo over Ginjero. But it's a solid 10 in my opinion.
I definitely did ask you! Do you think Cuarto should be above Taniguchi then? Or do you think that losing to Ginjero is a blacker mark than losing to Collazo? I guess the latter given you want to see that move too? Those positions probably are heavily related and the difference between Taniguchi and Cuartes is obviously marginal?
I think that both Gingiro and Collazo have a solid case to be between top 3 and 5. I place Collazo over Gingiro just because I was quite impressed with his last 2 wins, both by stoppage. Now Gingiro achieved the same results in his last 2 fights, and like Collazo, he also got a Title in the same way of Oscar. Maybe it's just a matter of (my) taste as it is right now, specially because I see the level of difficulty of facing Melvin very similar of Valladares. That said, both those fighters will continue to grow and I believe they will be changing positions between them during a very long time. In relation to Cuarto, having him in 6th, 7th or 8th, it looks all ok and alright by me. I also have Melvin one position over Valladares but again the reverse looks ok too. I assume you have Mendez in there cause you count Thammanoon as inactive by now. If that's the case then Mendez should be there, yes
Yeah, dude hasn't laced a glove in 15 months I think it is and nothing in the fire by the looks. In July they were still arguing about Rosa, the basic problem seems to be that the ABC wants him to come overseas due to those garbage visa issues that scuppered that fight, and he isn't having it. Not a fighter that interests me. Plus, you can't be among the best in the world at something you ain't doing.
Knockout is in the US right now, training for the Rosa fight. It's gonna happen next month somewhere on a PBC card.
I remember when Oscar Collazo beat Enrico Pallazzo, despite a really ridiculous size disadvantage. He could really fight.
1. Knockout CP Freshmart. 2. Yudai Shigeoka. 3. Ginjiro Shigeoka. 4. Oscar Collazo. 5. Panya Pradabsri. 6. Melvin Jerusalem. 7. Erick Rosa. 8. Daniel Valladares. 9. Rene Mark Cuarto. 10. Wilfredo Mendez.
