It's nominations. ANYONE is addable.

just thought he didnt fit the criteria well then add ol Sonny

I vote Monzon, Ali, Foster, Napoles, Griffith, Duran, Arguello, Olivares, Canto

I like all of Marble's selelctions. I would add Salvador Sanchez and Ray Leonard.

Fly and bantam King Fighting Harada deserves a nomination. Conquerer of Eder Jofre.

I left Eder Jofre off? Arguably greatest bantam. I should be flogged.

Fuck I dont know who to leave out. We have had a ton of guys in a couple of eras.
