Holys!!!! I Know Someone HAD to Put Up ARmstrong??
Willie Pep hands down for me. He was an amazing fighter in his prime. He even regained his greatness after a bad plane crash and he fought Sandy Sadler around a year after. Saddler beat him and was the bigger stronger guy but Pep showed he still had the skills from his younger years when he beat him in the rematch. He was easily the best of the small guys and top 3 of all time at any weight.
Did anyone mention Ricardo"Finito" lopez.
:coolclick: Angel. He was definately one of the greats among the small guys and a real ring technician. I have him in my top 5 guys under 130 no doubt.Quote:

Salvador Sanchez - Possibly the greatest of them all
Ruben Olivares - The most explosive bantam ever
Wilfredo Gomez - The most explosive super- bantam ever
Eder Jofre - Maybe the best bantam ever
Azumah Nelson - A great Feather and Jr Lightweight
Alexis Arguello - Same
Fighting Harada- A great bantam champ, two wins against Jofre!!
Willie Pep- His record speaks for itself
Ricardo Lopez- Undefeated perfect record
Erik Morales-One of the true modern greats at 126lb
Marco Antonio Barerra -Same
Khaosai Galaxy- Maybe the best fighter ever from Asia
Sandy Saddler- A stalwart through the 40's and 50's with 3 wins against prime Willie Pep!
The Baker's dozen
So many others i could have mentioned but these came out easier.
Very well thought out list.CC for Galaxy pick,good to see he gets recognition.I hate to say this but I dont think our brothers from the orient and great asian fighters get alot of buzz.Good list!Quote:
