Magri for me also.

Mickey Cantwell only beat one guy with a winning record, so he's done well to get on your list of four.

The flyweight division doesn't get much love in boxing. I thoght that Terry Allen or Jackie Paterson were England's best flyweights.

But, I think now that Sid Smith was the best flyweight ever to come from England

Jackie Brown is the greatest flyweight ever from England.

Jackie Paterson was from Scotland. My bad

Jackie Brown from Manchester, yes, he should be on the list. My fault. I overlooked him.

Peter Kane of Liverpool deserves a mention.
