    If Ivan Calderon retired now would you consider him an all time great in his weight classes of light-flyweight and strawweight

    Im sorry to say this but no. He doesnt have wins against ATG's or even greats for that matter. He was stuck in a division with the same amount of talent as the Heavyweight division for so long. Had a close battle with Cazares and unfortunate fights with Mayol. It was only a matter of time.

    No. Lack of physicality is an issue.

    To be honest i really dont like those low categories:(:(

    Shame on me , but i dont like to watch children fighting


    I heard that in flyweight its forbidden to organize fights on open stadiums.It looks dumb, but only for a while. I checked, and its because the wind could throw fighters outside the ring. So its forbidden:)What a story

    P4P WW and down produce the most entertaining fights and the most athletically gifted fighters in the world. On the otherhand you would be amazed to see a HW throw a single combination let alone two. Adamek was outboxed by bad Chad and Klits are boring. You cant be a Haye fan and Klit at the same time can you?

    The two deepest, most talented and overall best division in boxing are below WW. They are Featherweight and Bantamweight.
