    Not looking for a ranking (though i'd love if you posted one), just some names.

    Who do you consider the key ones, so far I'm thinking.
    Jimmy Barry
    Jimmy Wilde
    Digger Stanley
    Johnny Coulon
    Ricardo Lopez
    Roman Gonzalez

    I wasn't thinking of guys like Wilde (although he always weighed in well under 112) I just always thought of him as flyweight. From the inception of Jr. Fly and Straw divisions going forward I immediately thought of Yoko Gushiken, Ricardo Lopez, Roman Gonzalez and Luis Estaba

    Pedlar Palmer, another good one. Beat Walter Croot, who gave Jimmy Barry a good fight.
    Harry Ware seems like another notable one.

    Chang has to be top 5 if we're talking below flyweight.

    I personally think Chang would have beaten Lopez.

    Almost forgot about Chiquita Gonzalez and Michael Carbajal to add to this list.
