THE CLASSIC HALL OF FAME INAUGURAL INDUCTION: The Flyweights (Closed - Results In)

I'm not the most knowledgeable on Flyweights especially from yesteryear but i'll give it a shot.

Jimmy Wilde
Pancho Villa
Miguel Canto
Pascual Perez
Fidel LaBarba
Frankie Genaro
Benny Lynch

 

I personally think that Canto, Wilde and Wolgast are the only "must haves" on a list.

 

I think Oba would’ve joined them had he lived. I think there’s a chance he could’ve beaten Canto in a fight I think. I like his odds personally.

 

I agree. They're the top three flyweights IMO.

 

H2H ignoring anyone past the next day weigh in era when they all turned into featherweights who do you think is King Kong?

 

I wanted to throw Ebihara in there too but couldn't justify it over the others.

 

That's a very tough question.

I think the answer is nobody.

Canto could beat Wilde, Wilde could beat Wolgast and Wolgast could beat Canto.

The sheer amount of elite fighters with such varying styles means that nobody would go undefeated against the rest, and as for figuring out who'd do the best in a round robin, I don't have the confidence to make a pick.

Although, if I had to throw out a few names which I have a feeling they'd do the best, they'd be Harada, Perez and Wolgast.

 

A peak Roman Gonzalez has a chance against virtually anyone, as well.

 

I think my list is in line with quite a few others
