Thank you for your reply. I've said my piece. I actually really appreciate your opinions on (particularly modeen European) boxers. It takes all kinds. Adapt your lists, or don't. Your choice. Join this venture, or don't. Your choice. All I'm saying is don't be awkward for the sake of it. Don't be contrary. Take good care of yourself. Hope you submit your lists. More the merrier.

I know I'll get some criticism for my picks.
oh ya, ig those are messed up aren't they. Those were from two days ago, I forgot to revise them. I am not super knowledgeable when it comes to flyweights and bantamweights, so forgive my ignorance.
I'd say 90% of posters are ignorant beneath featherweight tbh. I got absolutely schooled on Midget Wolgast a couple of pages back.
