    Do you think Emanuel Navarrete "Vaquero" could finish the unification in Super Featherweight ?

    Otherwise, who do you think could stop him? I make a poll.

    Yes, but I’m not going to pretend I know if he gets through Foster, who I see as a fighter that won’t get overwhelmed by Navarrete’s unorthodox style, long reach, and power. I see that as a solid 50/50 fight. I also think Cacace is a weak champion and will duck unifications as long as possible, so I don’t know how long it would take for Navarrete to unify. Espinoza is probably not going to move up, since he will wait for Inoue to come up. I haven’t had the chance to watch Hayato Tsutsumi, so I can’t comment on him. I think Suarez loses to Navarrete, and since Suarez is his mandatory, that’s likely Navarrete’s next fight. I also think Ford loses comfortably to Foster, and Lopez isn’t taking the kind of big fights that would move him into title contention. In total, if I had to bet, Navarrete won’t unify the division unless there’s some kind of tournament set up. But if I had to pick one fighter most likely to do it, it would be Navarrete

    So true Anthony Cacace vacated his IBF Belt for not fight the winner between Eduardo Nunez and Masanori Rikiishi in the past.

    I personally voted if Rafael Espinoza will moved up, I'm convicted that he can beat Emanuel Navarrete.

    Of course Charly Suarez, Robson Conceicao and O'Shaquie Foster have their chances for beat him, I even think Robson Conceicao was robbed against him even if I'm a big Navarrete fan.
