Who is the greatest flyweight of all time?

So that makes it ok to rank him as the best flyweight to ever step into a boxing ring? Do you know how silly that sounds?

Lopez is the greatest strawweight of all-time and doesn't deserve to be mentioned alongside the flyweight greats.

Yeah he does. Withoput day before weigh-ins, I'm not sure ANY of the straweights make 105 or maybe even 108.

This is the easiest weight division in which to answer this questions - Jimmy Wilde was unquestionably the best that ever lived. His record says so, his opponents said so, the press said so, history said so.

Lopez never defeated flyweights and his competition at 105-108 was not very impressive. Therefore, I cannot rate him with the flyweights.

Are you even aware that Lopez was often times well under the strawweight limit? He was tiny.
