The 10 Greatest Bantamweights

Great finale Flea and great choice for numero uno. Great as he is remembered I think Ruben is sometimes rated down for his sometimes inconsistent performances post bantam. He really was the complete article at bantam between 67 up until the Herrera fight. I'm looking forward to the other weight countdowns.

 

No problems mate, he was just unlucky to come up against 3 of your top 10 in his title shots. He'd of had it no other way and it's all kudos to him. He would of liked another shot at Ruben though.

 

@SeanK read through this thread.

 

Now for the Heavyweights!!!!

 

Looking at Zarate and the new format looks great.

 

So much easier to read now with the new mobile-friendly layout! Great stuff.

 

This thread is awesome. Bookmarked now.

I haven't written articles to the length that @Flea Man has, but he's my own top 10.

1. Ruben Olivares
2. Éder Jofre
3. Manuel Ortiz
4. Terry McGovern
5. Fighting Harada
6. Panama Al Brown
7. Memphis Pal Moore
8. Pete Herman
9. Kid Williams
10. Carlos Zarate

 

I've not read any yet, aside from Olivares, but I will do at some point over the next week.

 

Jeez just read the Kid Williams piece and God damn, that man decimated an era!

 

Re: Olivares. I’m more than likely going to be working on a special project on him soon enough. Will say more soon. Once the pandemic is over, sometime before the end of the year (fingers crossed), I’ll be meeting up with him and will put a thread up for you guys to ask some questions. Same for Zarate who I’ll be seeing again soon too (and will be working on a project at some point also).
