    Ok maybe Peterson is green but Bradley defeated an undefeated green Peterson. Bradley would beat a prime-Peterson too. Ortiz got robbed against a green, but still good, Peterson.

    Rees is a former world champion, give him his props. He's accomplished something Peterson, Ortiz, Maidana, Mabuza and Matthyyse have yet to achieve (winning a full alphabet world title, i.e. interim belts don't count).
    It is true that Paulie got beat by Hatton, but Paulie is not prime IMO. Hatton looked bad VS lazcano late on, Hatton was not prime either.

    He didn't look good in his lastest fights, particular the fight before Hatton, and a few before it too.

    Juan Diaz is a 135 fighter, who got beat by Nate Campbell... who was getting beat up by Bradley.

    Peterson is still not proven, and neither is Ortiz. Think about the gulf in Khan, Kotelnik and Ortiz VS Maidana. Or Kotelnik VS Alexander.

    Tirangle theories shouldn't tbe too much considered, but it's still a vlaid point.

    Rees, no matter what, was a 5 foot 4 guy who got soundly beat by Kotelnik, but even before that, who did he beat? He wasn't all that IMO. Maybe he was in his prime though.

    I think you play too much into the who has won a belt. Rees would not even be a toip 15 guy right now most likely. He probably only won the belt, which if I recall correctly was not from a champ, only because of Enzo Calzaghe was his trainer and Joe Calzaghe etc... must have helped him get the shot. Not sure, but Rees is weak.
