    So I'm sitting here re-watching Stevie Johnston's win over Angel Manfredy. Wondering who would be the best lightweight in history you'd favor Johnston over?

    He'd sharpshoot the Hell outta Valero.

    I'd pick him over guys like Juan Diaz and Philip Holiday too.

    My 'probably' wasn't a "he'd probably win" type thing, I just couldn't think of a LW better in those 3 seconds or so.

    He'd take Corrales and Frietas too.

    I dunno about Corrales. I feel Stevie was too hittable and brawl happy for Chico.

    I cant help but envision Corrales' beautiful short hook stopping him eventually.

    Maybe, I'd defo take him over Freitas though. I don't like him, I was excited to watch what I'd been told were great Fights then things started to get good he bails? Not a fan.

    Yeah Stevie would outclass Frietas.

    He probably beats Sean O'Grady.
