Whats Your Top Ten Hd 2 Hd Featherweights in History

Salvador Sanchez and Henry Armstrong are the most formidable by a margin

 

Dixon reigned supreme for about 5 or more years as a featherweight.

McGovern had more featherweight defences than bantamweight.

Fenech was an absolute beast at Featherweight, although admittedly his broken hands nearly cost him dearly and if they dont hold up, he would probably be found out at the highest level. Still a formiddable head to head opponent for anyone at the weight though.

 

Yeah, but both guys routinely weighed in around 118 pounds. In fact, wasn't the Featherweight limit lower in those days?

Fenech would fare a lot better at Bantamweight in my opinion, where he was a physical monster to compound his style.

 

I am not sure, maybe i need to do a bit more research on the era and division at the time. But George Dixon kept raising the weight limit, so i doubt he would have any problems making and filling out the featherweight limit. McGovern also had no problems with making the weight and Fenech well any problems he would have were obviously in getting down to weight.

 

LOL at Sandy Saddler over Willie Pep. Pep should be number 1 on all lists. In his prime, he beats everyone on the list. Henry Armstrong would give him his toughest fight.

 

On a consistent basis Pep would need to be exponentially, massively, uberly awesomely better than how he looked circa Saddler to justify his rep, even though he still has the look of a special fighter about on par with the other technical boxing featherweight greats.

Justsaying.

 

Yeah, of course you can.I guess it would take seeing a really really special performance to live up to the romantic reputation a guy like Pep has.

The stuff we have doesn't really deliver it, though if you put expecations aside you can still see a gifted talent as i said.

kalule would probably take past prime post planecrash Pep though.
