John has defended v JMM(questionable decision) and also guys like Caballaro and a few other semi decent guys which are just as good as The Ghost's best wins over Honorio and Litzau,and add in John's 0 and title defences and it is clearly better than the Ghost's record. Also remember that Guerrero has lost to Gamaliel Diaz(who got his ass handed to him by Jorge Linares) and he also got outhustled and busted up at times by Orlando Salido(although it was changed to ND because of failed drug test).Needless to say,he should not have struggled with guys like that in the first place.
Personally,for the sake of consistency,I'd have John first,I mean Casamayor retained his number 1 place with the fight with Santz Cruz!I think Linares is far far too low,I think his wins over Larios and Diaz are better than wins over Litzau and Honorio if I'm honest. Remember,Larios took Manny and Isreal Vazquez 12 rounds and Linares stopped him!!!
Phew,so there's my answer. Just flawed rankings I guess but I totally agree,NO WAY Guerrero is number 1. Heck,Luevano's wins over Nicky Cook and Terdsak Jandeang(and he's beaten 1 other RING 10 ranked fighter) means he's beaten more ranked fighters than Guerrero sooo yeah,error on their part.No way Guerrero is number 1.
