Welcome to the new series everyone! Over the course of the upcoming months I'll be counting down my favorite boxers in history starting from Flyweight and moving all the way up to Heavyweight. Please note that these aren't where I rank the fighters historically, just how much I personally like to watch them. If a fighter isn't included here it doesn't mean that I don't like them, they're just not a favorite of mine in this weight class. The 3 fighters that just barely missed out here were Betulio Gonzalez, Shoji Oguma and Juan Francisco Estrada. Hope you all enjoy! Who are your all time favorite Flyweights? www.patreon.com/haNZAgod

I never understood how a boxer like Santos Laciar always stayed at the doors of the HOF : Champion in 2 divisions , 3 times and lineal World Champion , 10 consecutives defenses against boxers like Prudencio Cardona , Zapata,Sugar Baby Rojas ,Betulio Gonzáles , Gilberto Roman , Juan Herrera or Mathebula ....😵😵😵

Yuri... amazing soviet boxer... eyes always open, seeing everything and not afraid of punches, with the confidence to throw any variation of the right cross in any situation. Not a guy you'd ever want to trade with at his mid distance, unless you're also bringing a high caliber precision sniper of a right hand to the fight.

I would’ve added Pone Kingpetch (my fav boxer ever, btw), the three time world champion from Thailand, and Thai first champion. His two battles with Perez, the second match with Harada and the second with Ebihara are some of the most exciting fly battles ever recorded. Desperately close, sure (not talking of the rematch with Perez, of course), but here’s the thing: the first match with “old” Perez was a brutal affair, a fire baptism, but in the end a reasonable victory against a legendary opponent. For the rematch, McGrain wrote: "Either way, Pone put any debate to bed in an immediate rematch which he dominated and won by eighth round TKO. A persistent and sapping right hand to the body dropped Perez’s guard and resistance". The rematch against Harada started quite badly, but when he recovered from 10R to 15R did miracles, countering, making Harada miss, jabbing; so we had a fighter who started bad and ended well; a desperately close decision. The past-prime revenge with the excellent Ebihara is similar, in Japan the outcome would’ve been different, but we have to note that the japanese judge gave only two points to Ebihara: definitely not a robbery (with Harada the japanese judge gave a draw! If Harada “clearly battered Kingpetch”, why scoring the fight a draw? Maybe because the fight was very close, compared to what emerges from some ignorant boxing forum). Kingpetch wasn’t a good boxer. He was a great one, and proved so when defending against “good” boxers such Seki (n°5 contender) and Noguchi (n°6 contender), when he appears very dominant, with his furious attacks to the body, long combinations and smart defense: the same elements he used against his more notable opponents, but of course with the great ones the tricks work quite worse, and this is true for almost every boxer. His only really disappointing fight was when he lost the title against the then n°1 contender Salvatore Burruni, when after the first few rounds Kingpetch basically stops fighting: he probably felt really tired fighting at that point, and against such confusing opponent (props for the brilliance of Burruni, of course). Furthermore, Kingpetch of course was Chionoi's idol and even Chitalada's. McGrain stated this: "As elegant a boxer as ever graced the division, Pone Kingpetch also brought steel and heart and a right hand to the body Joe Frazier would have given his bad eye for". I agree. Arbachakov and Johnson were of course excellent boxers and athletes, a pleasure to watch, poetry in motion. But the opposition they faced, as an historical fact, was not at the same level of Kingpetch’s. What would they’ve done against a rising Harada, an old Perez, or Ebihara? We really don’t know.

@@marcoledri496 He was certainly very good, I made a video of Kingpetch a number of years ago. As you said he had an excellent jab and some very crafty counter-punching skills but for whatever reason his style has never particularly appealed to me and I’ve never gone back to rewatch his fights (aside from the Harada and Perez ones of course).

Interesting list. As you say though, this is your top 10 favorite flyweiights of all time, not necessarily the best. I have always fetl that starting from around the 60's, we may have had the best that the flyweights were ever, so Charchai chiono, a disgrace he is not in the International Boxing Hall of fame, and Masao Obha, who is, but took way to long to get there. are in my top ten greatest. Boxingh in this division though now suffers because we have a light fly and mini flyweight division below them. Other boxers I probalbly would have included here are Nonito Donaire and Victor Darchiniyan. Nayo Inoue, never spell his name right, never fought in this division, but was light flyweight champ, before he moved up to super fly weight champ. For me the greatest boxer who fought in this diviosn, and was a flyweight champ, Manny Paquiao. Also, no boxer listed here before 1950. I would have to go with Fidel La Barba. Jimmy Wilde it has always amazed me is often considered in some polls the greatest flyweight of all time. But feel that he mostly defeated British or some European boxers at that divison, and don't conisder him all that great as his geography of boxers was limited.

I skipped Minimumweight simply because I don't have 10 favorite fighters in that division. As for Light Fly I could potentially go back and make a list if there's enough interest for it but for now the plan is to do every weight class from Flyweight up. As for Gonzalez I have a highlight of him coming up next Saturday, no plans for an Oguma video at the moment.
