VD, I know you like Koki a lot but really #12 P4P...
(this isn't a skills list this is just p4p)

How are Koki, Silence, Gorres and Segura on your list but no Sosa or Nietes who IMO have clearly done more in p4p terms then Koki, Silence, Gorres and def. more then the young Segura.

Regarding Sosa non-placement. Easy. I forgot about him. Nietes has done more than Segura. I agree. But I seen one of Nietes fights. Every fighter on my lists I seen at least 3 times. Including the obscure Olyedong. For some reason I'm having a hard time locating Nietes fights. I can't really rate a fighter I seen so little of.

The thing with Sosa is he is low profile meaning he's not as talked about as much as the other champs are.
That makes sense on Nietes, I remember now you saying the other time you haven't seen much of him. Makes sense...

Micks list and VD's pretty much say it all. Hasegawa has accomplished alot more than Donaire so that's justified.

1. Calderon
2. Mijares
3. Montiel
4. Hasegawa
5. Sakata
6. Solis
7. Penalosa
Mine would go domething like that.More like Micks I think. Calderon HAS to be first imo. No question about it. 2 weight champ. Undefeated.Upteen defences. And rarely gets hit in a fight. AND beat some of th best fighters around along the way. Mijares has a way to go before he catches up to that imo,especially as Ivan is fighting Hugo again.

For me it can def. be a coin toss between Calderon, Montiel & Mijares.
Anyone of those at 1,2,3 can be justified...

under 122...
1. Mijares
2. Ivan
3. Montiel
4. Hasegawa
5. Nonito
6. Solis
7. Penalosa
8. Sakata
9. Narvaez
10. Cazares
11. Niida
12. Oleydong
13. Nietes
14. Naito
15. Munoz

Your list is good. But i think Montiel should be number 1. I think he clearly deserved the win against Johnny Gonzalez. And I'm actually shocked that you would have Niida so low.

I think I scored that fight by one point for Jhonny but it clearly could have gone either way.

The thing with Niida for me was quality of opposition. His title reign and his skills are superb but aside from Porpaoin there's really nothing there that says P4P. While you look at the guys above Niida they are just as skilled if not more plus the quality of oppsition & titles are there also. I would say that when I make lists I look at several things but I like to emphasize on 'quality of oppostion' the most I put more weigh on that then the other stuff.
