    Little Pancho, Little Dado, Speedy Dado, Young Tommy and Pablo Dano for the 30s fly-through-featherweight divisions. Maybe Pea could add others from that era.

    You have Donaire and Nietes from the modern era.

    You also have Ceferino Garcia in there somewhere.

    Yeah, it would seem I did.

    I think I'd actually be hesitant to put him on a top ten. I threw out eleven names, and I think only, maybe one wasn't as great as Gerry. And even then, that's a very close tie between Nietes and Penalose.

    In terms of fights he officially won, Penalosa's record is regrettably, quite thin.
