    Im aware the list is not based on H2H

    But H2H I think Donaire beats everyone and I'm not even sure who gives him a tough fight.

    Chocolatito, Canto and Harada are probably the nezt 3

    Some people thought Memphis Pal Moore deserved to beat Wilde. I could never find enough accounts of it to be sure either way, though Moore also beat Wilde, but in a bout considered an exhibition. Deserves considered.

    Considering he was a bantam he doesn’t deserve any inclusion on a flyweight list.

    Damn, I though he was within the flyweight limit more than he was.

    Stanley is well out of place there IMO. Would love to know your reasoning there.

    I’m not sure Yuri Ebihara should be over Chitalada, let alone the real Ebihara

    I was reading through Stanley's résumé and was quite impressed. That's pretty much the top and bottom of it, I don't know an awful lot of this division, I'll have a gander of those two

    Canto would make Nonito look as one dimensional as he always was

    Nonito probably doesn’t make 112 in an era of same day weigh in’s anyway

    Needs Midget Wolgast.
    Arbachakov isn't top 10 IMO.
