    Sorry about that. Honestly didn't see the fact that you said it at the end of the post.

    I'll reiterate beating a B level fighter doesn't make you an A level fighter(Which Cotto is, but not x50). Douglas beat Tyson, that doesn't mean he's an A level fighter. There are many more things to take into consideration. And also one loss does not define what level you are at either, as I said before Geale beat Mundine,Sylvester, and Sturm.

    Lemieux beat Guerrero in 3, it took Quillin 7 rounds. And N'Dam won every round against Quillin he wasn't knocked down in, the same is not true for the Lemieux fight.

    no worries i edited after noticing all the typos and u respinded before that. its just too much effort to fix typos on an ipad. i agree beating a b level fighter does not make u a level but if you cant even be remotely competitive with a cotto who is waaaay smaller than u i cant rate u b level. beating someone faster means nothing to me. but beating someone after getting stopped is relevant and lemieux was just feastin on a quillin victin, as for ndam id have to re watch both fights but to me lemieux did not do it more impressively. if he did it wasnt by much. now if lemieux beats jacobs saunders or someone like that ill agree that hes b level but hes not done enough for me to rate him up there. the only a level fighters that are active right now for me are ggg ward kovalev rigo and fury. i grade guys on resume and skill set. i have guys like zurdo degale thurman crawford postol all around b to b plus and i cant out lemieux in the same grade as those guys.

    I think its Murray,took 11 rounds to stop him.

    Also Murray moved up to 168 and noone can stop him so far,yeh he lost 2 close fights but still performed okayish,very tough...but sadly lacks power.

    Eh. I guess we just have different rating scales.
    For me:
    A's: Fighters who have proven themselves on the championship level by beating Multiple top 10 within a division or another A level fighter decisively. Guys like Kovalev, Ward, Bradley, Fury, Thurman?, Golovkin, Canelo,Garcia,Stevenson.
    B's: Titlists, Guys who have beaten some guys in the top 15 in their division decisively and have merit to be in with A fighters but haven't proven to be a championship level fighter yet. Guys like: Khan, Postol, Saunders, Fonfara, Brook,Jermall,Lee. I agree though there is a big grey area for this one.

    He had the toughest time with Ouma. I had Gennady behind at the time of the stoppage. Murray was his best opponent.

    I will say, of Golovkins recent opponents Lemieux was the one coming in with the most self belief.
