    To the other point - yes if you are using numbers to determine how strong a particular fighters pool of competition is then single weight P4P fighters are gonna be thin.

    Bradley should struggle to make anyones list (I guess theres about 1000 lightwelters).

    Basically what Im arguing is that the reality might be that some of the top challengers in a stacked division might be more complete fighters than champs in weaker divisions.

    Compare womans boxing to men. Would anyone argue that the skillset is equal in both sports? Of course it isnt the standard of womans boxing is simply not as high. +t doesnt mean there arnt some good fighters but Holly Holme has had easier competition to fight than Sakio Bika for example.

    I just think if u can accept that then the same truth must apply to weight classes in mens boxing that have very little competition. Guys like Calderon routinely fight guys with records that would make them total novices in higher weight classes. Its not uncommon to see guys fight for world titles with less than 10 fights. Its not because they are more gifted, its just because there is a much smaller pool of fighters.
    Accurate rankings should recognise and reflect that.
