    You could possibly squeeze him in the top 10

    In terms of talent and skills I'd say he dose belong in this kind of company. Some are more skilled and talented than others but overall they're all genuinely elite

    Usyk
    Inoue
    Crawford
    Clenelo
    Bivol
    Beterbiev
    Ioka
    Bam-Rod
    Loma
    Shakur

    But he's literally only fought two reigning world champions who were champions at the weight he fought them at when he fought them. That's a shocking stat

    1. Pedraza. Very good win and one which is still his best win to this day

    2. LSC who was a 126 pounder who had only fought at 130 once and that was against a fellow 126 pounder who was 2-2 on his previous 4 fights. So LSC won the vacant WBA belt in his only fight at 130 against a career 126 pounder

    Of the 10 world champs he's fought

    2 reigning champs who were champs at the weight he fought them at: Pedraza and LSC

    3 champs dragged up in weight, only 1 of them a champ at the time.: Cuellar, Ruiz, Hector Garcia

    2 shot to hell champs: Cristobal Cruz and Gamboa

    4 champs who were champs at lower weights. It could be 6 because whilst LSC was technically a champ at 130 he had only fought at that weight once and it was against a career 126 pounder and Twink was a natural 135 pounder who really struggled to make 130

    3 future champs: Rolly, Isaac Cruz and Barrios

    How was Rolly nominated to contest the vacant 140 title at 135 when he was coming off a KO loss at 135?

    And he only won the belt due to pure corruption when the 40 y/o gimme opponent was robbed blind by the corrupt ref

    Cruz won his world title off of Rolly

    And Barrios was upgraded to full WBC 147 champ recently after winning the vacant interim title against Ugas who was coming off a brutal stoppage loss to Spence

    And how did Barrios earn that shot at the vacant interim title? By going 1-2 in his last 3, the losses a KO one at 140 to Twink, then getting shutout and schooled by an inactive Keithy who hadn't fought in 2.5 years, the win against a nobody

    And some of them were WBA regular champs which he was in two of the weight classes he's fought in until recently when he was upgraded to full champ at 135 after Haney vacated his belts

    In complete contrast, Loma has fought 13 world champs in 21 fights (a crazy stat) only one of whom was a regular champ

    8 reigning world champions in 21 fights, 7 of whom at the weight he fought them

    11 world champions who were champs at the weight he fought them at

    7 world champions who were champs in his third division, all way bigger and heavier than him and it would be 8 if Ortiz wasn't robbed against Teo

    Only one champ who was dragged up in weight and they were P4P#4 at the time

    Walters who Loma fought at 130 was a champ at 126 but he'd already moved up to 130 six months before Loma fought him and had failed to make 126 when he lost his 126 belt on the scales a year before

    4 future champs albeit some were champs at lower weights or the weight he fought them at prior to that

    No shot champs or really past prime champs

    And 10 of the 13 champs were bigger than him, 9 way bigger, and 2 of the others weighed 0.5lbs and 1lb less than him respectively. He's only fought one champ who he was a lot bigger than: Rigo and 9 who were a lot bigger than him

    And he fought them all on the road or in their backyards with zero home refs or judges which is the complete anti-thesis of Twink and every single other champ from the US

    Incredible. It's literally night and day

    But I still consider Twink a fantastic fighter despite this
