| Unless Ring was going to choose Persian King Xerxes I had no idea who the best fighter whose last name began with an X was.
Turns out it was Mexican lightweight of the 1980's named Alfredo Xeque.

| We're nearing the end now..
Y will be Teddy Yarosz. Marble will probably point out some obscure Japanese fighter named Yakashima or something.
I'm gonna guess Z is Zivic, the dirtiest fighter ever. Nah maybe Zarate? Some nice fighters here in Zale, Zaragoza, Zamora. |

| I can't think of any Y's off the top of my head. I think "Z" goes to Carlos Zarate. Just for the record, he never really lost his title to Lupe Pintor. Good fight and a horrible decision. That said, there are a few other fighters who are just as deserving and I will not be surprised if they won. Tony Zale, Fritzie Zivic, etc. |

Hw about Myung wuh Yuh? Or was it Myung you Wu? The 108 who never fought the better Korean Jung-Koo Chang?
He had like 15 defenses and beat Leo Gamez twice.
Gotta be Yarosz doesn't it?
I think Z oughtta be Zarate, but a surprising amount of accomplisment with the Z's you listed! |

Nope. The Toy Bulldog. I'd have chosen Wilde, but it's still hard to argue with Walker. |

| X was beyond slim pickings. On boxrec there was only about 15 guys total who had a last name beginning with X. |
