    Yeah got a bit carried away for the supermiddles there. i was being quite serious about Holmes though!

    Then again the more i think about him humiliating himself by running out of gas and getting knocked out by the legendary schoolboy Darrin Van Horn and his soft bodyshots, the more i realise it should preclude him from any place here.He was good earlier and maybe moreso at middle.

    Yeah I never bothered with divisions that low down but i'm beginning to look into them presently. Until then i'm afraid darch is being given the benefit of the doubt :lol:

    Moon will kill Vic. Calderon is the pits.

    Another way of looking at it is,Rocky Marciano was the greatest Cruiser. Even if he was n't one in name. Rocky and Holyfield would have made a great fight at this weight.

    You think Calderon is the best Light Fly of all time? Log out.

    It's really stupid ranking these guys as you are without watching them as well. Jiro could be fairly lazy, and my opinion of him fluctuated as I went through him fight-by-fight. I strongly disagree with the decision in the first Poonterat fight for example.

    Calderon isn't one of the top ten Light Flys IMO, if he is he's right at the back, and I love Iron Boy. Chang is the greatest Light Fly without a single doubt in my mind.

    I'm surprised more don't pick Moon as best superfly.He's still an oft-underestimated fighter imo.

    Could potentially be horribly schooled by a number of excellent to great fighters, but if you weren't tough as nails or very on point defensively he may well overwhelm and mangle you.

    In terms of H2H he's a monster, power in both hands through just winging big nasty punches every time, and having the chin to keep bombing. He'd certainly overwhelm Poonterat IMO, and would force Jiro to up his work (or just muller him) and I'd favour him well enough to smash Mijares to bits, he was an absolute beast.

    How do you feel Moon gets on with the best version of Roman?

    Saw him doing a Korean travel show on youtube recently :lol: He was climbing a mountain I think, didn't look as bad as I thought he would.
