    1910s: Jimmy Wilde
    1920s: Frankie Genaro
    1930s: Benny Lynch
    1940s: Peter Kane, maybe?
    1950s Pascual Perez
    1960s: Pone Kingpetch
    1970s: Miguel Canto
    1980s: Santos Laciar
    1990s: Yuri Arbachakov

    I think Julio Cesar Martinez may well end up as the 2020s pick.

    Kingpetch struggled with consistency but was a great fighter.

    Best fly of the 1960-s is tough call. It'd be someone between Chionoi, Ebihara or Accavallo. Kingpetch, Burruni and Alacran are slightly off.

    My choice is Ebihara. He KOed Kingpetch and Alacran. He was two time champ and once lost his title by very disputable decision. And Burruni ducked him

    60s goes to Ebihara. After the 70s it gets muddled with the Junior divisions.
