THE BEST EVER-THE LETTER "X"

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.

You have already spent too much time on this post! Go watch the More Resnick video!

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.

fritzi will get honorable mention..zarate is a good choice.

Y=Jimmy Young

Good choice.

I will change my pick to Yarosz as well.In 127 fights was stopped only once by Babe Risko.

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!

Did Jimmy Wilde get W ?

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

It's official then Ring are bias against Brits

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