I have taken the top flyweight boxers in history according to BoxRec (minus Midget Wolgast who was ranked #11 as I do not have his card), and split them up into groups of three. The top six are seeded, so are in a group each, while the rest were randomly drawn.
Each boxer will face his group opponents once.
Two points are awarded for a win
One point in that win was by KO
A point for a draw
And a one point deduction if a boxer is disqualified
The top two men progress to the later stages.
Here are the groups with a few details and their all time rankings (everyone ranked over #11 moves up a spot due to the absence of Wolgast).
Group A:
(1) Fidel LaBarba, 1924-1933, Los Angeles, California, United States
