Top-5 Strawweights (Minimumweights) of All-Time?

It gets too much airtime IMO.

Hate it. Good fights but what a waste of everyone's time.

 

Oh, don't worry, not everyone is a Straw-fascist like me.

 

Hardly any depth. Sucks the life out of other little weights that struggle for depth. Lack of unifications (most of the time) means you've got a handful of fighters that are actually very good not fighting each other.

Everyone that fights there has to cut to make it, so it's not catering for people 'too small for light fly'. So, do we need it?

IMO, no, anyone worth their salt from straw has at least been able to attain some level of success at light fly so **** it off IMO.

Is there even five guys who could be called great strawweights?

 

No. There is no such thing as a 'great straw weight'. The competition and depth isn't there, and never has been.
