There is only one guy i can think of who you could say yeah, he prolly was the grestest ever flyweight... Jimmy Wilde...
This Link will tell you everything you need to know about Jimmy and why he IMO was the best.
CColI'll check that in a sec,CC!! What were his best fights? Any other contenders?
Pancho Villa?
Spot on, Preme - there are not many weight classes where you can say with any degree of certainty who was the best ever ....... but flyweight is one of them, and Jimmy Wilde is the answer.Originally Posted by Preme

I have their fight against each other(Pancho and Jimmy) But have not had time to see it yet.I think I have one or two other Wilde fights too although I'd have to check that.
A fight i would love to see, jimmiy was like 31, 32 then 6 years of being the best at his weight, over 800 booth fights, 130 pro fights, that shit catches up on you, and when pancho came out he was to young and youthfull for wilde, although this had its fair share of contreverys too... (one reaosn id love to see it)Originally Posted by El Gamo
At the end of the second when the bell went wilde dropped his hands coz the round was over, on doing this pancho hit him with a yhunderous hook, wilde supposedly fought the rest of the fight concust not remebering anythign after the second round... it was his last ever pro fight (adleast recorded)
he ghost with a hammer in his hand
need we go any further
Jimmy Wilde for sure
I know who it ain't......
Pongsaklek hes fighting again some guy whos not even ranked in the top 100....
I sware I can't take it anymore.... This fucker is getting away with that kind of shit!!.....
Yeah... The Mighty Atom' The Tylorstown TerrorOriginally Posted by althetruthhindley
definetly jimmy wilde that man could seriously crackOriginally Posted by El Gamo
Miguel Canto was a superb Flyweight IMO there could be an arguement that he might be the best ever.....
Theres a lot to be taken into consideration here; opponents, accomplishments etc. etc.
Mick,fill me in on Canto,what was he like? Record? And will you ever cease your HATRED for Wonjongkam! Has that guy EVER fought someone in the top 10? or even top 20,30? And he keeps racking up the records,I hope that in 40,50,60 years from now they remember that all he ever did was fight bums!
Don't knw greatest but I know great ones like:
Finito Lopez
and actual Ivan Calderon
Que Viva Puerto Rico
