No longer on the rankings after a loss to Jo Miyahara, would you argue he should have the #6 place instead of former Welterweight Title Challenger Dionicio Gustavo?

To be honest I don’t know the background or any fights of the #6 contender, I would have to do some research. I just remember him being an interesting prospect when I saw him in his first fights.
