    By that I meant Joe Lynch, great bantam that Wilde beat spotting him weight :good

    Although I'd take Benny to beat Wilde.

    How do you figure? Overrated on what scale, (on a pound-for-pound ranking, regardless of weight) top-15, top-20?

    He's certainly not a top-15 greatest boxer of all-time and I would agree that he could be outboxed -- but everything he accomplished alone, then add to the fact he was fighting BELOW the minimumweight of today (105), against 115'ers.

    I'd have him top-20, for sure.

    Top-5, AT LEAST, for greatest nicknames. :good

    Just overrated as a flyweight champion. I tried to say in the post you quoted; great fighter due to his P4P achievements :good

    Oh okay, I understand. And as for Lynch; he just got lost in the shuffle -- HUGE omission on my end.

    I don't understand, you said I was wrong to rate Calzaghe above Fitzsimmons yet Fitzsimmons hasn't even made your list yet Calzaghe has :huh

    The ten rounder against Legra was probably Winstone's best win Flea.

    I always think about Winstone losing to Legra in the title fight. Yeah, it is :good
