Lets pretend fighter X is about retire. During his career, fighter X : beat the below four fighters. List the wins in your opinion from most impressive to least impressive:
A win over an impressive 17-0 undefeated fighter who has beaten a top ten ring magazine rated fighter and has been a professional for 3-4 years. Call him The somewhat green hot prospect .
>>> The somewhat green prospect wins an alphabet title years later as he gains more experience. He ends up 39-3.
A win over a 33-3 ( 1 KO loss ) top 5-10 ring magazine contender. The contender once fought for the title once before and is only slightly past his prime. Call him The battle tested and respected top ten fighter whos 1-1 vs top ten ring magazine rated fighters, and has one loss to a good journeyman.
>>> The Battle tested and respected veteran win one more match vs a top ten fighter, but never wins an alphabet title and ends up 37-5
A win over a past his prime former great 44-4 ( 2 KO loss )on the comeback trail at age 35+ who hasnt beaten a top 20 rated guy since he lost the title a year ago and has clearly lost a step. He won his two comeback fights vs journeyman. Call him The famous name on the come back. .
>>> The Famous name fails to win back an alphabet title and ends up 47-5.
A win over an alphabet mandatory, top 8-15 ring magazine rated fighter with a 30-1 record who is not likely to win a title, but recently won a title elimination match vs a respectable top 15-20 fringe contender. He is in his prime. No one sees him as championship material. The loss was a points loss to another prospect who fizzled out 2 years ago. Call him The alphabet mandatory with the right political connections.
>>>The alphabet mandatory fails to win an alphabet title, but proves to be a tough out, and works his way back to another title shot thanks to good match making and retires with a 36-3 record.
Now rank the wins for fighter X's from most impressive to least impressive.
