    Who is the Best Featherweight in the last 20 years?

    i know there would be a lot of candidates..

    my personal criteria here is 60% accomplishment and 40% overall ability

    I would say Berrera by a close Margin. John is good but doesnt have the oppenets, Morales was great but lost to Berrera twice. you can say Pacquaio was the best too, to hard to pick but I picked Berrera even though Pacquaio put hands on him. but Mayweather was the best super feather weight.

    marquez. hamed, john, and marquez had long careers as feathers. john and hamed didnt beat the quality of opposition that marquez did. although hamed beat a few somebodies, marquez was a better feather. pac had 4 fights there but he's the best? eh, i dont agree.

    Marquez only fought Pacman at 126 so im going with Morales...

    El Terrible is the best FW in the last 20 years.

    He clearly outboxed and beat Barrera in a rematch but got robbed...

    BArrera rematch and In Jin Chi was two of his biggest wins at 126.

    ( He beat Barrera unofficially )

    dont get me wrong, i appreciate chris john but
    hes pretty much held the belt hostage for 5 years. now that hes starting to come out of his shell he will be truly tested. as it stands, hes nowhere near the best feather of the past 20 years. pac only had 4 fights in the division, mab and morales 7 a piece. kind of a weird poll to be honest. out of the choices listed, marquez.

    :good if you base your rating only on how long you defend your title against no names :D
    but if you beat the best on that division what is the reason to stay? I guess you are fooling your self having a record of 20W but fighting who? :D:D:D

    Gotta go with hamed from that list. Based on the fact that he actaully fought guys from the weight, and not just guys moving up. Im not sure how anyone could say Pac being that he had 3 fights at the weight and didnt even win all three:patsch That is pure nuthuggery:-(
