I think he has the potential to be on the list. The problem is his competition. We're talking b- c level competition. A great fighter should win these fights with ease as he's done but it's hard to give someone a P4P ranking without being tested by someone else who is highly regarded in the P4P sense. It's not his fault, it's just the way it is.
