Pea was way better. The guy cleaned out lightweight. Completely cleaned it out (getting ripped off by Ramirez in the process). He beat a prime Azuma Nelson as part of that dominant run. Again, completely cleaned it out, not one perceived challenger. He then went up to 140 and shut out Rafael Pineda over 12 rounds to pick up a title in the hopes of unifying with Chavez. When Chavez refused he then went up and took on P4P ranked McGirt, picking up the title and enticing Chavez, the #1 P4P to come up and face him. He beat Chavez but was ripped off and handed a draw. Since McGirt said he wasn't 100% Pea have him a rematch and thoroughly dominated him. Pea continued to dominate at 147, despite being small for the weight and battling addiction. He moved up to 154 and defeated the tough Julio Ceasar Vasquez, who was the #2 guy behind Norris. Pea went back down to 147 and continue to decline until he lost a disputed decision to Oscar, who was much larger, younger, in his prime, and ranked P4P at the time. He fought much tougher competition, actively chased the toughest opponents, and cleaned out two divisions he fought in.
