    Who wins this battle of the Superflies?

    Then pitch the winner against Jimmy Wilde.

    Lynch would clean Chitilada's clock. Easy work. Chitalada was life and death with Bernal in his absolute prime. Bernal a good fighter but Lynch just guard's against that bodywork (Speciality) and deploys, steady, quick, straight punches, volume when they tangle and he's more accurate. I'm very impressed by Chitilada's attitude, schedule, ability but head-to-head he's short of the class required to beat a prime Lynch.

    I also think Lynch would be very difficult for Wilde, but it's harder to predict because despite the granite, Lynch might not be able to hold Wilde's power - that's how hard Wilde hit. However, many lesser technicians survived Wilde. I think Benny would edge him out on a sensible scorecard.

    Sot is a great fighter and probably underrated today but lynch was a real top tier all time great flyweight I’d take lynch here

    Wilde’s power is alarming put that together with his reported ability to throw punches from unexpected angles but lynch had great speed of foot for me anyway lynch also ducked , weaved and also used to bend to avoid punches but lynch would also at times be happy to get it on which could be his Achilles heal against Wilde . I couldn’t pick between them with any feeling other than if they fought a trilogy each fighter would very probably have one win
