Crease, with the end of the flyweight list and the end of the game imminent I just thought I would suggest something to you that might be fun and away from the kind of lists that contain the usual suspects. I was thinking what would be cool was the same kind of game with contenders - or those who did not win a world title at a particular weight class. I would take this on but to tell you the truth I don't have the kind of time that this requires to do properly, but primarily, because you're pretty damn good at this. Anyways, just a thought if you want to do a new game.

This is the second last thread... There's one more to go. And everyone will be free to have their final say in it...
All will be revealed in the next 12 or 13 days.

Sounds good!

Sounds good!

Wait and see, Sir. It could be a cracker.

No more takers? Only a couple of days left to go...

It'd be a shame if Peter Kane and Frankie Genaro pushed Santos Laciar out of a deserved top 10 place, but it looks like the mob has spoken.

Looking through the list, is Flyweight a weaker division greatness-wise than Heavyweight? Ali, Louis, Johnson, Holmes and Foreman seem to me a stronger top five than the above at the very least. And there aren't too many on that whole list I'd have over Holyfield, Frazier or Lewis. Bantamweight was frickin' amazingly deep by comparison.

- BTW, Thomas Hauser drafted 30 "boxing experts" to pick the top 20 heavies. Using my system of #1 yielding 1 point, #2 yielding 2 points, ect, Ali ended up #1 with an average ranking of 1.58 or near there with Joe Louis a hundredth fractional point behind him......Hauser in the House!


1. Jimmy Wilde--a truly great fighter getting stiffed in the end when bashed in from behind by thugs in a train station in his elder years. Give anything to lay my hands on those two bit punks face to face in the afterlife.

2. Pancho Villa--Bad mistake fighting after getting a couple of molars yanked on the day of the fight against Jimmy McLarnin, but the macho cockfighting Filipino credo yields a never say die macho fighter earning an esteemed place in Valhalla.

3. Pongsaklek Wonjongkam 26-2 WBC title record, 90-5-2, 47 KO record damned hard to top.

4. Jimmy Barry-- Outstanding knockout power in the early Queensbury days proved impossible to beat.

5. Ricardo Lopez
6. Pascual Perez
7. Fidel LaBarba
8. Benny Lynch
9. Frankie Genaro
10. Miguel Canto
11. Johnny Buff--Michael Buffer is reputed to related to Buff, I'm guessing through his father that at some point went thru a spelling revision.

It was the right call. To me, the great Jimmy Wilde, p4p was an all time top 20 great boxer. No doubt about it. A terrific Welshman boxer. By looking at his record I can see why. He was a phenomenal fighting machine that sometimes had to scrap with bantamweights and also featherweights. A true great boxer.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

His resume is not overly impressive, same with pep. Two obviously great fighters that I find overrated. Not as much as Chavez, finito, Dempsey or foster, but overrated all the same.
