Y can not I make it a public poll?
Sahaprom, Hasegawa, Marquez, Austin and Canizales had longer reigns than Perez.
Jibaro by decision for me.
Depends on how u measure / define de length of a reign .
Who did each 1 of them fight compared 2 those Perez fought. Anyway I did not st8 that he was de longest reigning 1 , just long reigning compared 2 those who fought de best .
1 can measure it by time (which may benefit de 1ce a yr titlists) , # of defenses (which may benefit de serial bum beaters such as most if not all of those u mentioned) , # of defenses vs quality opponents by de time that they mattered and were in goos shape (which is Y i consider Raul Perez as such) , and possibly other ways .
That response made no sense. You stated that he's the longest reigning 118 "noteworthy" (huh?) titlist you can think of.
Canizales is in the HOF. Marquez will be in. Sahaprom, Hasegawa, Canizales and Austin had longer reigns, both in terms of time and number of defenses--with Rafa, he and Perez each made 7 successful defenses, though Rafa then vacated his title.
Quality of opposition has nothing to do with how long a reign is; length refers to time (or number of defenses if you want to categorize it that way).
Unless you want to tell me that Canizales isn't as noteworthy as Perez. Or that Rafa Marquez isn't.
Just two examples.
