Sherdog’s Top 10: Greatest Bantamweights via LevPisarsky
Welcome again folks, this time to Sherdog's list of the 10 greatest bantamweights ever. This list was compiled based on a weighted poll of 12 Sherdog contributors, and I will note where my own views deviated considerably from the consensus. Personally though, the appeal of any such list isn't the exact order or who was included or excluded, but the actual discussion of each entry. Anyone can come up with a list with no further commentary and it's no more “right” than another.
A word about criteria: My main measure for this list was greatness for one’s era and how long that era lasted. I believe the majority of other contributors used a similar rubric. Ranking historical fighters based on who would beat whom doesn’t make sense, since the division as a whole keeps improving and evolving. For instance,would be demolished by any current top 20 bantamweight, but he was clearly amazing for his era.
By way of honorable mention, our bantamweight poll featured a number of current and former greats who received at least one vote, but not quite enough to crack the Top 10. In descending order, they are:
