    say what :admin:admin:admin

    I like Barerra, but no. Just no. Calzaghe definately deserves to be ahead of Naz IMO, and I'm also a fan of Naz.

    And as ive said before, ricky is above all lists :deal

    Calzaghe is definitely ahead of Naz they each had one top opponent in their careers and Naz was outclassed by his whereas Calzaghe beat his

    Joey had more than 1 top opponent IMO. BHop is the obvious one, but he also beat Kessler, Lacy (who was the favourite), Robin Reid. You could even count Bika as a good win

    Is Joe Lynch the only stand out win on his record? If so I'd say just comparing names on their records that Dempseys KO wins over Sharkey, Willard, Carpentier, Levinksky and Fulton look better.

    Just sticking to Flyweights I'd say Fidel LaBarba had a better record. In his first year as a pro he beat Brown and Ganaro, went the distance with Jimmy McLarnin and later in his career beat Kid Chocolate.

    I'm pretty ignorant on Wilde but one great win and some wins over bigger men is exactly what Randy Turpin did. There seems to be to much missing from Wilde to break away from the pack imo.
