'Flyweight' head-to-head lists: 105, 108, 112 and 115 pounds

I'm going to attempt and make some order out of the little blokes and their head to head fighting abilities.

My list is of course provisional and there's always more to learn, but this is an attempt to place fighters in their best weight categories.

I have decided to leave out fighters that I haven't seen at least half an hour's worth of prime weight footage. Hence, there'll be no listing of fighters like Jimmy Wilde, Pascual Perez, Pancho Villa, Fidel LaBarba, Frankie Genaro, Peter Kane, Midget Wolgast, Newsboy Brown, Jimmy Warnock, Jimmy Barry, Joe Symonds, Tancy Lee, Venice Borkhorsor etc.

Also, I'm leaving out more recent guys like Leo Gamez, Gerry Penalose and Masamori Takuyama, that I haven't seen much footage of.

Also, I've left out guys that still have something to prove and are works in progress. Hence, no Vic Darchynian, Nonito Donaire, Ivan Calderon, Cristian Mijares etc.


Anyway, onto the lists:

105 Pounds
Ricardo Lopez (has anyone else worth a damn fought in this division that I'm forgetting?)


108 POUNDS
Jung Koo Chang
Hilario Zapata
Yoko Gushiken
Myung Woo Yuh
Humberto Gonzalez
Michael Carbajal



112 POUNDS
Fighting Harada
Miguel Canto
Hiroyuki Ebihara
Horacio Accavallo
Masao Ohba
Mark Johnson
Yuri Arbachakov
Shoji Oguma
Fidel Bassa
Betulio Gonzalez
Santos Laciar
Chan Hee Park (on his best night would be higher up the list, but he's a head case)
Salvatore Burruni
Hilario Zapata
Pone Kingpetch
Chartchai Chionoi
Effren Torres
Chatchai Sasakul
Walter McGowan (more a reflection of his vulnerability to cuts than his boxing ability)
Pongsaklek Wonjongkam
Martin Vargas


115 POUNDS
Johnny Tapia
Jiro Watanabe
Sung Kil Moon
Santos Laciar
Gilberto Roman
Nana Konadu
Gustavo Ballas



Any thoughts? Suggestions? Want to add to the list? Re-shuffle it? Give it a go :good

 

Nice suggestions :good

Fahlan Sakkreerin is probably the bloke you're thinking of. Haven't seen him fight myself, so I can't say...

Galaxy should be on the list, you're right. Probably before Ballas seems about right.

Yeah Baby Jake deserves a shout. Bring on the midgets!

 

Shame. He'd at least move halfway up the flyweight list with better skin.

 

Cheers flea.

If nothing else comes out of the thread, I hope it encourages people to seek out fights with the guys listed here, and form their own opinions.

There's been a heck of a lot of talent in this weight division, something I've only discovered recently to tell you the truth, and I hope others seek out the fights of these guys because they are missing out if they don't see them in action.

Forget the heavyweights, flyweight is where its at! :deal

 

Wasn't luck, but at the same time, it's unlikely to happen all that often, and as his bouts subsequent to that fight showed, he was still a bit away from consistently putting up world class performances.

I suppose with his punch Pac would be an issue, and he could definitely deck a couple of other guys on the list if he fought them enough times, but more often than not he will receive embarrassing schoolings.
