    Little Guys Get No Recogition

    Chocolatito IMO is a clear p4p #1 - beat great fighters across 4 weight divisions, and generally in exciting fight.

    Monster Inouye is the most intriguing young fighter. I mean, the dude is like what 22, 23 yrs old with like only a dozen fights and he already has 2 solid champs on his resume, and several other good fights. And he generally fights in a seek & destroy mode too.

    IMO, Chocolatito v. Inouye is the best fight that can be made in boxing.

    Gallo Estrada has top 10 p4p talent & resume, altho his career might stall with this hand issue.

    Donnie Nietes -- I haven's seen enough of his fights, but when I look at his resume across 3 divisions, I see a top 10 p4p type fighter.

    Wish these dudes got paid more, so we could make more fights between them.

    Anyways, just wanted to give the little guys some recognition

      Honestly, I think they get too much.

      140-147 IMO are little guys. Where i'm from, the world because of Floyd and Manny are OBSESSED with these smaller weights. Midgets get their respect, everyone know chacalito

      Light heavy and cruiserweight are dynamite divisions right now...ALl we care about is who Danny Garcia is fighting next....

          There is a certain point where weight divisions stop being a way to differentiate boxing from a street fight and start being a starvation contest. For me that's once you get to the 3- and 4-pound intervals.

            Hu says 140-147 are small, we are men and I can stab anyone to death whether I'm 140 or 150

                Well one reason is do you think choclotito can compete at a free weight level? For instance can he take a middleweight? Probably not
                So how can he be considered the best p4p??

                People who watch boxing want to see big built athletes not horse jockeys.

                  In America and Europe I think a lot of people just don't find it that interesting watching fights between grown men who are barely 5 foot tall and 105-120 pounds. You have to be a special fighter to make a name for yourself if you're that small.

                    The problem is as he moves up into higher weight classes he is less dominant in the higher weight classes. When you move to a higher weight class your pound for pound worth depends on how good you are in that weight class. You don't get extra points because you moved up from a lighter weight class. He is a 115 pound boxer now and must be judged as a 115 pounder. He didn't win his last fight by very much.
