Andre Berto

Not even close. I maybe should have put him on there insted of Steve Molitor or Gerry Penelosa, but eh.

Omar Navarez is by far the worst. With Erdei, John, and Sosa atleast they beat credible people to get their belts. Navarez won a vacant belt against a nobody and then defends it against nobodies. His best win is Briam Asholmu(something like that), the current WBA Light flyweight champ. Still, Navarez seems pretty awful.

Andre Berto

He's never had a defense, and his first defense is scheduled against a guy who regularly competes with larger men than Berto.

I think smaller fighters have the deck stacked against them in these sort of debates because there isn't a whole lot of money in unification bouts and that sort of thing. A guy like Ricardo Lopez, a HOFer, was fighting guys like Zolani Petelo, Myung-Sup Park and Kitichai Preecha. No one busts on him, he was a great fighter.

Look at the 115-pound division, there could have been some great fights with Tapia, Penalosa and Mark Johnson. They never happened because to the individual promoters, the risk wasn't worth the reward.
