    He is indeed, definitely one I wish there could be more of.

    Bantamweight as a whole is full of incredible infighters. Jofre, Harada, Castillo, Ortiz, Pintor, Zarate, and of course Olivares.

    Rocky Marciano, Jack Dempsey, and Joe Frazier. I'll have @JohnThomas1 fill out the rest of my list as is 2:00 AM over here and I can't keep my eyes open.

    mayweather. He could when he wanted to. Literally just sat back on the ropes, made you miss, made you pay.

    THE.BEST.EVER.

    He actually invited on that pressure, yet made it look easy.


    No one will ever be as good as him. Fact.

    I wouldn't disagree with nobody who said Michael Spinks was the GOAT inside fighter.

    Michael Moorer underrated on the inside. Good uppercut he had

    I unfortunately felt myself falling asleep just as I was getting to the other weights which is why I asked you to finish the list on my behalf.

    Ahhhhhh thankfully now you're awake you can complete the list - i'd hate to do you an injustice. I reckon there will be at least one flyweight in this lot maybe two or three *excited

    Funny you mention that, because well-rested and energetic I was in the midst of putting together an excellent list accompanying many weight classes when my computer inexplicably crashed.

    Never fear, i will keep bumping this thread day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year so you have fair opportunity to finish that list. The "many weight classes" will see me waiting for years if need be!!!!!!

    of names not mentioned, pea should be.

    not his primary way of fighting but, like the mayweather posts, he was fantastic at it.

    Unfortunately after two unsuccessful tries, I can only conclude my list is just not meant to be for whatever reason so I'm no longer going to pursue it but thanks for the offer!
