Dean,

Thanks for the flyweights, especially Pincus Silverberg. There is a short biography of him at <a href="http://jewsinsports.org/" target="_blank">jewsinsports.org</a>.

I already had all of these flys in my universe, and rated just about the same as you have them. (You and I agreed almost to the letter on Silverberg.) Your versions of the fighters gave me the chance to tweak mine.

Amazing, isn't it, that there once was a time when a prominent contender--a Cuban whose real name was Eladio Valdes--could publicly be called Black Bill? He was trained, btw, by Moe Fleischer.

At all events, to add to your set here is the Rube whom Silverberg defeated in order to claim the NBA flyweight title.
