    Lynch is maybe toward the end of my top 10, nowhere near top two at Flyweight. How can he be justified over someone like Miguel Canto?

    Lynch would be toward the bottom of the top 10 in that regard as well, IMO.

    i can see how you can have him down near the bottom as his record isnt exactly great but he was a excellant fighter in his prime and a top 5 flyweight

    I'd have to go with Wilde here. He was more skilled IMO and so much more proven.
