    Wilde spent the majority of his career weighing below 100lbs and managed to beat world ranked featherweights. He'd smash every body below bantamweight to pieces. Villa is also a large favourite over everyone at 112.

    Inoue would **** himself at the thought of fighting either.

    Inoue fought one of the most brutal left hook specialists in boxing with a shattered eye socket from the 2nd round on. Inoue fears no one.

    He fought a 37 year old man. And almost got knocked out.

    He also ducked every challenge he possibly could before bantamweight.

    That's a strong opinion on Inoue. Isn't he considered to be the kid who learned to swim in shark infested waters?

    I'm being honest. Donaire was expected to be a pushover like Narvaez or Kono. Inoue miraculously, inexplicably avoided EVERY top fighter in the prime at 108 and 115? He completely skipped 112 as well, and if you really believe he skipped it due to weight issues then you're extremely naive. He's wanted no part of any truly elite fighter his whole career. Wilde and Villa would be no different.

    There's only two filmed fights of a prime Jimmy Wilde. There's only two filmed fights of a prime Pancho Villa. I don't think any of these fights are even fully filmed. Not enough information for me to decide how they would do today.

    Wilde by ko.

    Villa by UD.

    Flyweight isn't very strong right now.
