    Danny Lopez hit hard, AND he had an absolutely INSANE work rate.

    Saddler would be my pick...

    Arguello, Lopez and Hamed have to be in the mix...

    Armstrong must have had some punch at this weight and the Roberto Duran who beat Ernesto Marcel must have been a banger...

    Saddler and Arguello are among the hardest hitters, and among the best, featherweights of all time.

    Exposed?

    Marco Antonio Barrera was an ATG fighter who was on top of his game the night he fought Hamed. Thats not being exposed, that is losing to the better man.

    Nothing whatsoever wrong with picking Hamed. You could make a very strong argument indeed. Saddler and Lopez are right up there with him.

    The ironic thing about Hamed was he started out as a junior bantamweight and is the definition of a 'pound for pound' puncher

    Rubén Olivares is the #1 Bantamweight Banger bar-none. but Feather I'd have to give it to Wilfredo Gómez

    Zarate gives Olivares a close run imo.

    I'm a huge fan of Gomez, but he came back to earth quite a bit at Feather. Certainly didn't bowl em over, tho he had some outstanding opposition and chins. I don't see him as top 5 at this weight, while 1 or 2 is obvious at Junior Feather.
