        Why? He lost both fights to Wilfredo Rivera in reality, got dominated by Oscar and later Tito. He also should've lost the first fight to McGirt. I think he's rated as high as he should, maybe you can make a case he should be at nr.3. I think he was at his best in late 80's and very beginning of the 90's.

        People, we are talking about their ACHIEVEMENTS in this decade, not who was the best one still left fighting!
