A series of pieces I did for Boxing Monthly you may find interesting (even if you disagree with the order!)

It’s around 70-80,000 words I think so not quick reading but some are shorter (McGovern’s entry is nearly 14,000 words, I believe Zarate’s is less than 5,000)

There was an intro explaining the criteria (was written around the time the WBSS bantam tourney started so apologies if it’s already a bit dated)

Here’s the top 10:

No.1 hasn’t been added to the list yet so here it is if you’re interested:

Any list with Ruben Olivares on top is ok by me. He's one of my five favorite fighters of all time! Great job, enjoyed the list.
