This was pretty much a no-brainer.

Teddy Yarosz. Highly accomplished middle of the 1930's.

Honorable mentions were longtime 108 strapholder Myung Woo Yuh, heavyweight contender Jimmy Young, 1990's welter Hiroshi Yoshino, 1990's bantam Yasuei Yakushiji and the very fine 122 of the 1970's Dong Kyun Yum.

The Z's have at least three fine choices in Carlos Zarate, Fritzie Zivic and Tony Zale.

They'll probably give it to Zale,although Zarate would be my choice.Alfonso Zamora deserves attention as well.

Man didn't Zarate and Zamora throw bombs for four rounds! IIRC when they were marketing the fight Zarate had KO'd like 50 of 52 guys and Zamora every one of 25 or so and together it was the highest KO percentage ever shared by two men in a fight.
