The two modern founders of their respective weight classes. Both dominated for the better part of a decade and legitimized the junior weights with highly credible title reigns. But who is better and who is greater?
Elorde has always impressed me more. Better resume and a better skillset IMO. Two lower-level all-time greats who were major forces in their respective 'new' divisions. Both have to be top five for them, and they're easily the two strongest bastard divisions ever.
I was really expecting to see a "Xplosive quoted your post in the thread "Better/Greater: Elorde or Cervantes?" alert.
