Pound for Pound for the 122 pounders and below

[DaxxKahn]

Nice list.

I'd have Pongsalek Wonjogknam in the top ten & Arce just a spot higher...your'e gonna strike me down with lightening & thunder to puncuate this one...but I think Darchinyan is higly overratted.

I just aint buying it.

I think Arce would & will slay him.

I don't know about slay him?....Ican't even say with certinty I think Arce can beat him and I am about a big of Arce fan as you can get only because of his chin questionability

[CutMeMick]

CC ouma,ingenius idea!!

Speaking of Parra, is he gonna continue fighting? Last I read he wasn't sure if he was gonna continue or not....
Anybody know?

Shame really as he is very skilled.

Where did you hear that bro? I know Parra has been injured but he is schduled to fight the tough Roberto Vazquez next year I think.


I'll add my thoughts on the list later,running late!!

Read it on a psanish news paper, that he wasn't sure if he was gonna be able to return after the injury. I'll dig through my news papers and see if I still have it. I'll scan it and post here if I find it.

Everyone knows I am a Jhonny Gonzalez fan, so I am going to make my case for putting him on the top 10
EVEN THOUGH he lost to Vazquez (in a barn-burner where he scored 2 knockdowns and was ahead on the cards)
His previous 3 fights were against well-respected and dangerous fighters

10/29/05 vs Ratanachai Sor Vorapin - Jhonny was the underdog, but just schooled him and got a 7th round TKO

2/25/06 vs. Mark "too sharp" Johnson - Jhonny picked apart the slick Johnson and finally pummeling him into retirement in the 8th round

9/16/06 vs. Fernando Montiel - Jhonny was involved in a chess match with Fernando (who I also consider to be a great boxer) and eventually took a split decision

Upcoming fights

He is taking a quick tune-up fight in February
on 2/9/07 against Alex Baba
and on 3/17/07 will be defending the WBO title that he still holds against Gerry Penalosa

CC# for taking the time to post something like that it takes resarch....


But I must say that if you do the same for Fernando Montiel & Martin Castillo the same format applies.

Not really, because Castillo lost to a super young Nobuo Nashiro (who is currently 9-0) and has been inactive since.

And Montiel is going through a 10 month lay-off after losing to Gonzalez, which was his ONLY fight in 2006. I think more p4p emphasis should go on sheer activity, a guy who fights only once a year, shouldn't be on a p4p list.

Nashiro just fought Dec. 2nd and won, the fact that hes 9-0 shouldn't count against Castillo as Nashiro has shown he belongs.

I see what your saying about Montiel, but the reason hes taking that lay-off is due to promotional issues that hes having not because he want's to.

Point being with Castillo is that not only did he lose (on my birthday weekend for those taking notes) back in July, but he has yet to schedule anything else. That is one of the reasons I rate Jhonny higher than Castillo. And regardless of the reasons that Montiel has been inactive, he has been inactive. I don't know how Nobuo has got such big fights so early in his career, but yeah for being 9-0 it is prolly THE most impressive 9-0 in all of boxing.

Boils down to this
Castillo is a great fighter with a solid record, but he just misses the top 10 for me.
Montiel has been to inactive.
Nobuo, has an impressive record, but he has only fought on his home turf (which is pretty common for the lower weight guys)

Gonzalez should just crack the top 10.

cc#489 good points on Castillo & Montiel, guess it boils down to what you put more emphasis when listing fighters.
Still I don't agree that you should pay tooo much attention on the 9-0 as I said before the lower weights is different ball game I mean all you gotta do is go through some records and see that most of them are fighters with about 10 to 20 fights and have been in 5 title fights or something like that.

I guess I'll throw out my top 10 then

1. Rafael Marquez
2. Lorenzo Parra
3. Israel Vazquez
4. Omar Narvaez
5. Hozumi Hasegawa
6. Ivan Calderon
7. Ulises Solis
8. Jhonny Gonzalez
9. Muhammed Rachman
10. Eagle Kyowa

[OumaFan]

Gonzalez could be in the top ten, but Caballero was right there for me too.

BTW Gonzalez-Penalosa is looking less likely lately. On www.fightnews.com, Gonzalez' manager says he doesn't want to risk going to the Phillipines for the fight cause he's worried about a bad decision. Would rather wait and hope to get a rematch with Vazquez or a fight with Rafael Marquez.

I could see him being nervous about going to the Phillipines but I'm not sure waiting for a big fight is the best move. Gonzalez-Ponce would be interesting, Gonzalez-Caballero too if Caballero doesn't go to 126.

I agree,I don't think he would wait around for a big fight...is Caballaro moving to 126?

Narvaez lacks quality of opposition. IMO
I don't have a problem with Rachman his last fights have been the right ones the other 60 something fights don't mean a thing. For me it's what hes done as of late the gives him the edge.
Solis falls just short! compared to some people you left out Arce, Vic for example.....

Killer Usually I agree with what you post but I don't know how you can even conceive a list of fighters under 122 and not have Darchinyan and Arce....
