No idea where the idea of Kelly just being ranked 16-20 comes from.

Well he wasn’t ranked in the P4P top 10 going in according to the records I can find. Where would you have ranked him? I would have though being ranked in the P4P top 20 is still quite a compliment.

If we're talking p4p fighters of the late 90's I wouldn't think he cracks the 16-20. Pp4 is regarding the entire sport yeh? Now division wise I think he was definitely in top 4-3 come fight night. Below a Espinosa but maybe a notch above Wilfredo Vazquez off of the Rios fight. The p4p top ranks of late 90's read like a who's who for the HOF. Jones Jr, De La Hoya, Whitaker, Trinidad, Lopez.

Naz v Pac Man is on this months Ring Magazine cover, he would have loved that for his ego.

he brought worldwide attention to the lighter weights

Maybe among casuals, TIC. Way before Naz, the boxing world was more than fully aware of guys like Wilfredo Gomez, Carlos Zarate, Salvador Sanchez, Alexis Arguello, etc.
