The 2010s in the Rankings: The Top Twenty of the Decadespeak up now? He called him out in April before his last fight. He called Leo out again after he won his fight in May. He then made a video on social media in Sept where he called Leo out in front of his father and threatened to put hands on his father. What else should he have done? It's common knowledge now that Leo isn't about challenging himself. I actually can't think of another big name that is more unwilling to take on a real challenge.
13) Leo Santa Cruz - 38.13 Points
Record for the Decade: 26-1, 15 KO
Record Against Rated Opponents: 7-1
Rated Opponents in the 2010s: RTD5 Eric Morel (Ring #5 -118), KO3 Victor Terrazas (Ring #7/TBRB #2 -122), UD12 Cristian Mijares (Ring #7/TBRB #5 - 122), MD12 Abner Mares (Ring #4/TBRB #5 - 126), TKO5 Kiko Martinez (Ring Unrated/TBRB #7 -122), L12 Carl Frampton (Ring #2/TBRB #1 - 122), MD12 Carl Frampton (Ring #2/TBRB #1 - 126), UD12 Abner Mares (Ring/TBRB #6 - 126)
With belts from bantamweight to featherweight, the lanky Santa Cruz was a consistent force in the lower third of boxing’s 17 weight classes. A pair of memorable rivals filled out his resume with a pair of entertaining wins over fellow three-division titlist Abner Mares and a split with Carl Frampton. The second Frampton fight marked an immediate reversal of Santa Cruz’s lone lone loss to date and showed off the skill that underlines a high volume style.
Missing in the Numbers: Santa Cruz largely never made fights at Jr. featherweight or featherweight with Guillermo Rigondeaux or Gary Russell, respectively. Both could have added a lot to his total without costing him much. As was, Santa Cruz largely took his foot off the gas down the stretch of the decade, facing only a rated Mares in notable action since the Frampton rematch in January 2017.
Using the ratings of the published issues of Ring Magazine, and the archived ratings of the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board (TBRB) since their debut in October 2012, and under the assumption they act as a reasonable gauge of the state of each of boxing’s seventeen weight divisions over the last decade, a select group of fighters was evaluated with two questions in mind:

No I state facts as always and you stay making excuses for ducking Mexicans as always. Same old story with you and your copy and paste reply is weak. Leo's resume is trash, he's a blatant ducker of fights and you defending his resume only proves what I already know about you, you're not a real boxing fan, just a Mexican apologist.The 2010s in the Rankings: The Top Twenty of the Decade

Did Rigo and Gary ever fight eachother? Why does the Mexican have to fight everyone? Leos resume is better than both of those guys.No I state facts as always and you stay making excuses for ducking Mexicans as always. Same old story with you and your copy and paste reply is weak. Leo's resume is trash, he's a blatant ducker of fights and you defending his resume only proves what I already know about you, you're not a real boxing fan, just a Mexican apologist.Comment

they both called out Leo and he blatantly avoided both. Not to mention, at least both of them stepped in the ring with Loma. Leo doesn't even get into the ring with guys who call him out. Rigo beating a prime version of Donaire who was at the top of the P4P list at the time is better than anything leo has done in his entire career. And btw, Mexicans don't "fight everyone" anymore. Those days died when Barrera, morales, and Marquez retired. Now they're business men and leo is a prime example of someone who is content to collect paychecks against mediocre opposition.Comment
