Even Sherk....the man has two wins in as many years at LW, one tarnished by Steroid use.
Look at JZs record, look at Aokis. Particularly, if Aoki goes on to win this, there can be no question that he should be ranked higher than BJ.

I really don't give a rats ass about records, a guy can be 50-6-1 (just came up with that off the top of my head), but if he hasn't faced top competition, then I really don't care. JZ isn't top 5 in MY book, Aoki is almost top 5. Kawajiri is pretty good, hell, I'd probably rank him above both JZ and Aoki, he's faced better opponents. Who has JZ beaten? The only good fighter he has beaten is Shaolin. Maybe Uno. Aoki... He's beaten JZ, a washed up Hansen that is 4-5 since the end of 2005 and Kikuchi who I think is meh.
You can think what you want about Sherk, but the dudes a beast at LW, with or without roids, and BJ schooled him. You can't discredit BJ's (or Sherk's) past accomplishments either, just because he's in a different weight division. If anything, they just make him look way better, since he's in a LIGHTER weight division.
Yes I hug BJ's nuts, but not I'm not blinded by them. The dude has skills.
