The 10 Greatest Bantamweights

We call those, Bert Sugars.

 

I've never been sure what constitutes an historian.Though I like your posts whether I agree with them or not.

 

What types of historians are there? Both the living and dead types.

The IBRO poll, which had over 20 members voting saw the bantam weights this way. Most of the voters were in their 40's to 70's Most have done research. Quite a few have written books.

If your really interested in the history of the sport, you should join. The quarterly journals are packed with photos, research, press clippings, and such. Easily worth the price for admission. Boxing has an aging fan base, new people like yourself would be welcome.

All time Bantam ratings:

1. Eder Jofre
2. Panama Al Brown
3. Ruben Olivares
4. Pete Herman
5. Manuel Ortiz
6. Carlos Zarate
7. George Dixon
8. Terry McGovern
9. Kid Williams
10. Fighting Harada
11. Joe Lynch

14. Bud Taylor
15. Sixto Escobar
16. Jimmy Barry
17. Frankie Burns
18. Memphis Pal Moore
19. Jose Becerra

Just missing the cut: Pete Sanstol, Khaosai Galaxy, Charlie Phil *********, Jimmy Carruthers, Harry Jeffra, Jeff Fenech, Owen Moran, Lou Salica, Raul Raton Macias, Alfonso Zamora, Bushy Graham, Alphonse Halimi, Orlando Canizales and Abe Goldstein.

 

I'm just saying the quarterly journals are excellent, better than anything you can buy. As a foot note the only divisions that were polled were the original eight, which might explain K. Galaxy's placement

Flyweight to Bantamweight to Featherweight. Straw weight was not featured, the rest of the Junior and Super division, be gone! I'd actually prefer less divisions in the lower weight classes.

Yeah, I was wondering about that too!

 

Drum roll please......
