      In my opinion its Flyweight Champ Jimmy Wilde.

      I just get even more impressed every time I look at his resume.

      137 W (99 KO) - 5 L

      Names like George Clark, Young Zulu Kid, Pete Herman, Former cham Joe Lynch on his resume.

      I just think their hasn't been such a small guy 5'2 with such a destructive right hand since.

      I also give honorable mention to Marcel Cerdan. I think his victory over Zale for the Middle title was very impressive and his gutty injury performance (albeit in a losing effort) against Lamotta was legendary.
