    Anybody who could atempt a top ten flyweight list would have a good argument.

    Are you man enough?

    I do have a flyweight list though Janitor. I'd like to have a little look at it and possibly alter it throughout the day and if i'm confident i'll post it.

    It will take some thinking can i include Junior Flys and Straws since back in the days they would have been there? HTH no one beats Mark Johnson,but i know his resume isnt the best at that weight so it wouldnt be fair to the others to put him no.1.

    I'll have a stab, but there are guys who are going to come in here with better lists than this one, which I think is going to look a little odd

    1 - Jimmy Wilde
    2 - Benny Lynch
    3 - Midget Wolgast
    4 - Pascual Perez
    5 - Pancho Villa
    6 - Miguel Canto
    7 - Frankie Genaro
    8 - Newsboy Brown
    9 - Peter Kane
    10-Fidel LaBarbara


    Probably missing someone, but off the top of my head, there you go.

    I started doing one, but realised I couldn't really justify having certain people over others.

    My head then started to hurt. I consider myself quite clued up on Flyweights.....but today is not the day for me to worrying about such things.

    I didn't have Brown in mine, I had Harada. Brown does deserve inclusion which gives me more to think about.

    I think the fighters above are probably the 'right' fighters.

    Do you agree with me McGrain in placing Wilde above Villa at Fly, but Villa higher P4P?

    Eh?

    I thought I was in the Matrix. Every time I tried to quote this it would change to 'gnore this', then back to the quote, then 'this never happened':lol:

    I'm stoned as **** and started to think I was wigging out:smoke

    Good list but if Benny Lynch is two then Peter Kane must be close to a top 10 spot?

    No, I guess i'd have Wilde higher pound for pound too.
