where do you rank JuanMa Lopez now and would Lopez vs John crown a real FW champion?

Philla? If lopez fights yuri then he gets exposed like your boy linares.

 

you are forgetting gamboa who would beat both

 

Gamboa is not even in the top 5, He have the talet to beat anyone but His opositions do not make him a top 3.

 

not yet he has to beat them first but at the least gamboa should be #3 at least right now

 

i would rank him #1 with john at #2

 

I think both Gamboa and JuanMa beat John. Probably, quite handily, too.

Would love to see Gamboa vs. JuanMa. Great fight.

 

Although I think it would by Ring Magazine criteria, in reality the top two are Gamboa and Lopez.

 

Yes, I think it would. Chris John is regarded as the "champ" at 126, so any fight that involves him would be for the real featherweight championship. If we're talking about The Ring title, John is #1, and Luevano was #2... so I'm assuming JuanMa will take over the #2 spot now. Which means if John and Lopez fought, it would be for The Ring title.

Gamboa's resume is not good enought to put him in the top 3 at 126...even thought he arguably might be the best featherweight right now.

 

After tonight I would definitely say that yes. Juan Manuel proved me wrong so I have to give him his due.

 

Gamboa beats both right now.

 

What? Twelve title defenses. Beat Juan Manuel Marquez and Rocky Juarez...43-0-2...What are you talking about? He's far, far, far more proven at the weight than Gamboa or Lopez. Come on man. He may be winding down quite a bit, but you want to prove it, fight him and win.

 

just wait for mares to get into the mix..

we have this decade version of fab 4.
gamboa, lopez, mares and maybe caballero

we still have marquez, vazquez and john

 

Mares is at 118. :roll:
