    What is your opinion about the "Chukyo Monster" Kosei Tanaka ?

    In which weight category do you find him best?

    Would have to think about it.

    But he's one of the most exciting fighters from those weights and one of my favorites.

    Jimmy Wilde is the GOAT at flyweight.

    I don’t think so. He was excellent of course but he just doesn’t have the resume and of course he’s taken a bad loss up at 115, never mind his dismantling by Ioka. Personally out of active fighters I’d take Ken Shiro, Ioka, Inoue, Nakatani and Yabuki over him at 108/112 prime for prime. Not 108 for Junto as he was very green.

    We don't speak about the goat we speak about to be one of the best in history.

    Jimmy Wilde it's too old not modern boxing history.
