This is who I forgot...I still put in my vote for Finito.Originally posted by LuKahnLiWilde is probably the best puncher below Featherweight that ever lived.
Jofre's record speaks for itself and I hear he was boxing poetry in motion.Comment

Khaosai Galaxy is overrated in my eyes. Yeah, he could punch like hell, and holds the record for most jr. bantamweight title defenses, but his opposition was beyond bad.
Eder Jofre was possibly the greatest fighter i've ever had the pleasure of seeing. But when discussing the greatest "little guys" (bantamweight and below), Jimmy Wilde has to be in contention. Unquestionably the greatest flyweight to ever live, that had the punch of a featherweight. Few had the knowledge of boxing and its nuances like Gene Tunney, and he called Wilde the best fighter he had ever seen.
Eder Jofre or Jimmy Wilde is a good pick.
However, these fighters should get some props...

yeah too bad, I saw in Boxing Rec that he died at age 23 but very good record for a young guy W78 L6 D5 (25KOs) and he beat Jimmy Wilde, I think he is the first Filipino to be inducted to hall of fame....
Maybe we missed out on a legend in the making....Comment

Along with Jose Napoles, Jofre is one of the most underrated and unappreciated fighters of all-time. However, i personaly don't have Jofre in my top 10, though very close, i believe around #11 or 12. Also, his comeback from retirement and winning the featherweight title at age 37 is a greater and more difficult feat than Foreman winning the heavy belt at age 45.Originally posted by jabsRstiffIt's Eder Jofre.
Jofre is one of the best fighters EVER. A top ten lb4lber.Comment
