Rypien is awesome and can fight anybody he wants... you keep using weight as a measure of fighting ability... Rypien is kind of the perfect argument against your theory
Bieksa is a middleweight, but he hasnt fought the Janssens, Asham's, Rypien's (obviously) or other top tier middleweights... hell I think Eager got his first win ever against Bieksa.. Bieksa is a player, he's not a fighter, he can hold his own, but his dominant wins against non fighters in Adams and Jacques does not make him dominant in the weight class
