Miguel Torres isn't a pound for pound anything. He isn't even worth mentioning. The reason that I have come to this conclusion is look at him..
5'10" and fighting Bantamweight? That is weak. First of all, the bantamweight division is a sad excuse of not wanting to fight your natural weight. Second of all there is no names in the Bantamweight divsion. Then you take into account his heightSeriously. Look at the 5'10" guys in MMA and at the least they are Lightweight. Hell, GSP is 5'10" and we all know what weight class he is in. So thats saying he can hold GSP type weight on his body. Thats saying Miguel Torres dehydrates all the way to 135 and then come fight night he is about Lightweight. Fighting guys who are 5'6" and on average will bulk up to maybe featherweight come fight night.
Then lets look at another combat sport; boxing. On average people who are 5'10" are in what weight class? At the least 140(JWW) which is Featherweight in MMA. So Miguel Torres is a 5'10" guy, he is in no way shape or form a natural bantam or feather. At the least I will give him lightweight and at the most I will give him boarderline Welter-Middle.
How can you call that pound 4 pound? I call that weak. The man fights people smaller than Urijah Faber and Jens Pulver. Then I hear all over the place that Miguel Torres is one of the pound for pound best? Then those same people who say that call KID and Gomi overrated? KID is a natural Featherweight and fought above his natural weight class. Gomi fought in Pride at 164 pounds when the limit was 170. Walked through some of the best fighters and even took apart the entire Chute Boxe academy competitors. And those guys are overrated?
Torres doesn't even have the guts to fight Feathers. So he drops about 2-3 weight classes to fight guys incredibly small, smaller than Faber, Pulver, and Mike Brown. Its sad, seriously and I hear he is one of the pound 4 pound best. No way. Pound 4 pound means your a small guy with the talent to beat bigger guys if you were naturally a larger weight. Miguel Torres is a bigger guy fighting smaller guys. That is not what pound 4 pound is. I cant even call Miguel Torres a good fighter because he fights guys way smaller than himself in a nobody filled division. Trash is what that is.
GSP fighting Urijah Faber does not make GSP a great fighter. So why is Torres considered great when he is of GSP size and fights people smaller than Faber.
