    Other contenders

    Locche
    Starling i always thought his defense was hard to penetrate like Winky Winky's high guard defence.

    Also by the way are only allowed 1 fighter per division ? or is it just the best defensive fighters at Lightweight, Jr Welterweight, Welterweight, in general.

    He's been on the list for a long time, I just don't like southpaws they ruin the flow for me.
