This post identifies perfectly why it really is impossible to form an accurate picture of a fighter's career until not only he has retired, but the men he fought have also retired.
I mean who'd have thought the Jones win over BHOP would be so critical to his resume when it happened in 1993 (?) ? Who knew BHOP would go on to be BHOP? Same with Sanchez's win over Azumah. That win has grown dramatically in importance. Lennox over Vitali looks like another doesn't it?
It works the other way too. At the time Floyd's win over Chico looked huge. Now? Not so much. Chico turned out to be a good fighter, not a great one.
