Until he started beating up the little guys, i.e his first 18 or so defences, who did he fight that was higher rated/revered than Kessler or Lacy as 2 examples? Go to Boxrec and look at that list of bums and tell me there any better than the people JC fought. B-Hop and RJJ will go down as ATGs, but their records (there you go Eric you koont ) during their prime yeaers are filled with fighters at a very similar level to those on JC's record. I would say that is pretty undisputable!
I do find it funny how Felix Trinidad is considered a little guy now since he lost the fight. Yet that wasn't the case going into the Hopkins fight. Hell he was actually favored to beat Hopkins. But I see the need to bad mouth Hopkins resume....record is so great he must be referred as a little guy
