    Appreciate it lol, but I may not get to it for a few hours... I love Nelson but don’t think he or Gomez fought at this weight, and Fenech’s Stay here was likely to short. I love Chandler and while I rate him higher than most, I doubt he makes my top 10.

    Some great names missing from your list...this might be my favorite division

    Ruben Olivares?

    Terry McGovern deserves a mention.

    Memphis Pal Moore was very good. Dixon deserves a thought. I don't know these low weights well at all TBH.

    I can't see how Ortiz can be left out here.
