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.

Hah. Alright......
JZ has beaten Shaolin, Dida and Uno. Good fighters.
Aoki hasn't lost since 2005, and has beaten JZ, Kikuchi(twice), Jason Black, Hansen who had losses but only to top competition in Sakurai and Kawajiri and had beaten Azeredo. If he wins the GP, he wil lhave also beaten Uno and either Alvarez or Kawajiri.
Now, BJ beat Sherk, who as I said has two wins at LW in two years, one where he tested positive for roids, and JoeDaddy who wasn't exactly top 5. Oh yeah he also beat an old washed up Pulver.
How exactly, if Aoki wins the GP, will BJ have beaten more top competition? Going by the MMAforum rankings, Aoki will have beaten exactly twice as many top 10 competitiors. So will Alvarez or Kawajiri if they win.
Don't try to bring up a facing top competition argument when defending BJ man.........
Actually, I shouldn't obviously be counting the fights Aoki had where he fought at WW, those don't affect the rankings. They affect P4P, but not LW.
