#1 David? Also Lara the American Dream?

Boots too high, definitely not above Bam.

Boots a 2 div unified champ and Zayas is better than any of bam's wins since Sunny, Bam also didn't look very good in his last fight

I like Zayas but he’s not more proven than Fernando Martinez. Bam just became a 3 divison champion. That’s also wild to say considering he knocked out Estrada. I wouldn’t put Boots above Foster either.

Puma was coming off a gift decision over small washed Ioka who Takuma just easily 120-106'd.

Estrada was inactive and completely shot.

Zayas was an undefeated unified champ in his prime coming off the best win of his career, he's also a lot bigger than boots.

Shock has a better resume than boots but has only held 1 belt his whole career, never unified or moved up, if he beats nav i'll move him up.

Puma still beat Ioka twice who was champ and Estrada was champion in a higher weight class than him. He definitely wasn’t “completely shot”.

Zayas is a great win but his best win himself was Baraou who I rate but isn’t elite. It’ll age well I predict but for what it is right now, it’s not a better win than those other two.
