    Stumbled on an exhibition between these two Super Flyweight legends from 1994 (video is featured in the link below), but who would have won had they fought in the 1980's?

    Galaxy by decision.

    He's stronger.

    Watanabe was pretty slick and a good champion, but Galaxy is an ATG at his weight.

    Can't pick this one. My favorite JBW dream fight, in large part because I have no idea who I would pick.

    This fight really should have happened. Galaxy won the title that was unjustly taken from Wantanabe. Wantanabe was stripped for engaging in a unification fight. That happened more than once in the 80s.

    Watanabe wins a decision for me. Too skilled, talented and tough. Too gangster.
