    I can honestly only think of Finito, Calderon and Alvarez (and the only reason I thought of him is because he held Finito to a draw). I suppose I'd throw Gonzalez and Ioka in there as they're the 2 stand outs of the modern era.

    I'm with you in this Flea, I have absolutely no interest in the division and would like to see it scrapped and actually wish it had never existed, purely for the reason that there wouldnt have been anywhere to hide for Finito v Carbajal and Gonzalez. It's funny as well because I've got a lot of time for the light flyweight division.

    Wow. That's a solid effort and as a massive fan of Joyi I'm glad to see him so high BUT it's all over for him now he's been starched :-(

    Was that at light fly or straw though??

    Great effort putting together a top 20. When I get to it I won't go beyond ten. On lflw atm, much better division.

    Although they weren't brilliant, Alvarez beating the Porpaoin's would see him rank high for me at the weight.

    Yes. But that's a minor quibble and someone managed top put together a to 20 list so there's that.

    I did look into this division but after Lopez there didn't seem much point ranking.

    I have the utmost respect for anyone putting that much time into something.

    I decided to combine the lflw and stw divisions so I could make top ten and aside from Lopez every other man was lflw.
