    Why Terry McGovern so high, out of curiosity?

    Jofre ahead of Galaxy?

    I would have thought both Zarate and Zamora would be right near the top here

    Because the man could CRACK. Terrible Terry took out lightweights while weighing barely more than 120lbs. Scary powerful.

    ..............I think Joe Medel needs a mention here too. He starched the super-tough Harada and had Jofre briefly out on his feet. He could really crack.

    Doing that to Harada is pretty insane.

    Zarate--destruction of Zamora says it all
    McGovern--(although Gans fight was a fake, knocked out Erne and other good lightweights)
    Pintor (under-rated--fought tooth and nail with bigger Gomez)
    Zamora
    Gaby Canizales--one-punch knockout of Happy Lora was amazing

    Naseem Hamed needs to be there, he was European champ at 118lbs and he was probably even more devastating than at 126. Given many have him no1 126lb puncher, consideration to him being no1 at 118 needs to be made

    I thought of replying, but then noticed that only fools were supposed to do so!
