    When the original Boxing Hall of Fame was launched, their were eight inductees, one for each original weight division. Wilde was the Flyweight.
    Wilde, pound for pound, compares to Ali, Robinson and Armstrong. No disrespect to Tunney but not in Jimmy's league.

    Wilde, and probably by a considerable margin!

    Whether I agree with a post or not, I really appreciate posts that are knowledgeable, logical and succinct. Your post was all three.
