Probably because he's small and not American, and had no presence on our network TV here. Unfair as hell, but there it is. He definitely belongs. A boatload of title defenses, and he had really good skills. An aggressive type who was still very smooth and educated. Love his fights with Roman, whom he pushed to the limit, proving his worth. Well worth a study for those not hip to him yet. Deserves it more than Ramirez, who was simply well-connected enough to last a while.
