Muhammad Ali emerged in the 1960s as one of the greatest boxers of all time or, as he put it, &quot;shock the world.&quot;&nbsp;There were plenty of other great boxers from the '60s who also became some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-boxers-of-all-time" target="_blank">greatest boxers of all time</a>. Other great boxers from the decade that saw the sport grow globally included names like Joe Brown, Dick Tiger, Rubin &quot;Hurricane&quot; Carter, and Japanese boxers like Takeshi Fuji, Yoshiaka Numata, and Katsuyoshi Takayama.&nbsp;The first world champions from Venezuela and Thailand were crowned during the 1960s and the WBA and WBC began competing against each other. A new division was also created in the Junior Middleweights where a high school teacher, Freddie Little, was crowned world champion. Fights were also seen on color television for the first time.<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-active-boxers/ranker-sports?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Who is the best boxer</a> from the 1960s.

The best bantamweight boxers of all time are the best men to ever enter the ring and compete at the weight class, which has limited participants to 118 pounds or 53.5 kilograms since its formation in 1894. Featuring world champions and fan favorites, many of these best bantamweight boxers are also among the <a href="/crowdranked-list/the-best-boxers-of-all-time" target="_blank">best boxers of all time</a>. Like many sports, those deemed the best are some of those who were the first to see success when the sport, or in this case weight class, was introduced. George Dixon, Terry McGovern, Pete Herman and Joe Lynch are some of the men who increased the popularity of the sport and the class with their success during the early 20th century. But the boxer who is described by many as the very best bantamweight boxer of all time saw his time in the spotlight later in the century in the 1960s. Brazilian boxer Eder Jofre, who is also one of the <a href="/list/best-featherweight-boxers-of-all-time/ranker-sports" target="_blank">best featherweight boxers of all time</a>, competed in 87 fights between 1957 and 1976, winning 72 of them including several which earned him championships. There are many more where that came from though and to this day there are plenty of great bantamweight boxers looking to put their name on this list too.

The Best Bantamweight Boxers of All Time

List of the best flyweight boxers of all time, from all over the world including the US, Thailand, Mexico, Hungary, Japan, the&nbsp;Philippines, the UK and more.&nbsp;Top flyweight boxing champions include professional fighters weighing above 108 lb (49 kg) and up to 112 lb (52 kg). Those are the limits of the flyweight boxing category agreed upon by four of the best-known sanctioning organizations: the World Boxing Association (WBA), the World Boxing Council (WBC), the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and the World Boxing Organization (WBO).Just like with <a href="/list/best-heavyweight-boxers-of-all-time/ranker-sports">the best heavyweight boxers of all time </a>and <a href="/list/best-lightweight-boxers-of-all-time/ranker-sports">the best lightweight boxers of all time</a>, there are a few favorites among these elite fighters that come to mind when discussing the top boxers in the featherweight division. Jimmy Wilde, Pancho Villa and Miguel Canto are widely considered to be some of the best and most legendary flyweight boxers of all time. Manny Pacquiao is another popular flyweight boxing champion - he is considered to be one of the best professional boxers of all time, has competed in 8 weight classes including the flyweight division.&nbsp;The flyweight division was the last of boxing's eight traditional weight classes to be established. Before 1909, anyone below featherweight was considered a bantamweight, regardless of how small the boxer. In 1911, the organization that eventually became the British Boxing Board of Control held a match that crowned Sid Smith as the first flyweight champion of the world. Jimmy Wilde, who reigned from 1914 to 1923, was the first fighter recognized both in Britain and the United States as a flyweight champion.Boxing, like other combat sports, is divided into weight classes in an effort to match fighters of similar physical characteristics against each other. Without weight classes it would be difficult to determine whether a fighter was being unfairly pitted against a larger or stronger opponent, and would potentially present an advantage to the heavier-weighted player. This is a complete list of the best boxing champions to ever fight in the flyweight class.
