Jimmy Wilde was undoubtedly one of the greatest pound for pound fighters in history. For those who say he never really beat anyone of note.... Joe Lynch was a world ranked bantamweight, as was Memphis Pal Moore... Joe Conn was a world ranked featherweight.... all of whom Wilde conceded at least a stone to.. and when you only weigh 6st 10lb (94 lb) that is one hell of a percentage of your bodyweight. The men he lost to (Lee, Moore, Sharkey, Herman and Villa) were due to; illness (Lee), bad refereeing (Moore), excessive weight difference/inactivity (Herman), and inactivity/old age (Villa). The only defeat that can be considered genuine was the loss to Jack Sharkey and that was only a newspaper decision (although Wilde readily concedes that he lost the fight). If anybody can give me the name of a fighter who has a better record and knockout ratio than Jimmy Wilde I will be glad to hear from them.
