Dude soo much you said is wrong but what's most glaring is "Pitbull should be at 145". Pitbull is an absolutely monstrous 155er. He gets up to 185-190 in the cage and made Eddie and Chandler look small, both of them are heavier LWs.So you think all 35 of them are good strikers? I'm talking about the good strikers he's faced. The good strikers relative to the best strikers in the top ten of his divsion.
I named the only good strikers that he fought. Curran hadn't peaked when Alvarez fought him and he should have been at FW and curran at his best isn't up there with the guys I mentioned. Hansen, kawajiri, chandler, dida, etc etc are not very good strikers.
Some of those guys are good, but not top ten level "good" striking. They were top ten fighters, but not because of their striking.
I'll give you RDA and Pitbull, even though Pitbull was another one that should be at FW and I don't hold him in as high regard as guys like poirier or cowboy etc etc.
In general, though, when he faces a top ten guy known for his striking—Poirier, Conor, Cowboy, And yes, pettis was outstriking him, hence the wrestle fuck—he gets out struck. The RDA moment was the exception, not the rule.
And no, you didn't name all the best strikers, just the ones who had success vs Eddie. You mentioned Cerrone and Poirier but not RDA, Pettis or Dida, all clearly better strikers because it didn't fit your narrative.
You legit said dida and Hansen are not very good strikers when they both were almost the best in that department.
You do know Dida is the chute box striking coach right? Those terrible strikers like Anderson, Wandy and Shogun
