FW.
1. Willie Pep
2. Sandy Saddler
3. Abe Attell
4. Vincent Saldivar
5. Terry McGovern
6. Salvador Sanchez
7. George Dixon
8. Eusebio Pedroza
9. Johnny Killbane
10. Freddie Miller
11. Young Corbett II
12. Kid Chocolate
13. Alexis Arguello
14. Young Griffo
15. Jim Driscoll
16. Johnny Dundee
17. Sugar Ramos
18. Davey Moore
19. Owen Moran
20. Howard Winstone

 

Salvador Sanchez is certainly a great but I doubt he deserves 2 slots in any top 10 list. Off the top of my head I like Saldivar above Sanchez but it will likely be split on lists with one guy above the other.

 

1. Willie Pep
2. Sandy Saddler
3. Henry Armstrong
4. Abe Attell
5. Salvador Sanchez
6. Vicente Saldivar
7. Johnny Kilbane
8. George Dixon
9. Jim Driscoll
10. Freddie Miller

Next 10 (rough order): Kid Chocolate, Alexis Arguello, Azumah Nelson, Terry McGovern, Johnny Dundee, Baby Arizmendi, Battling Battalino, Eder Jofre, Juan Manuel Marquez, Marco Antonio Barrera

 

Ah ****, was meant to be Sandy Saddler

 

I don’t have Attell, Kilbane or Dixon in mine. All three spread their featherweight resumes over a fair few lbs, and as I rank by weight, you’d be more likely to find these three in my ‘super bantam’/122lb rankings.

 

My top 3 are set in stone:

1. Pep
2. Saldivar
3. Saddler

 

H2H Barrera, Pacquiao and Sanchez are the top 3 IMO

 

I don't place Pacquiao at any weight due to him being equally effective and having his legacy drawn from all over the place

I like Pep to beat Sanchez, Barrera too. In fact I'd probably take Saddler over them as well.

 

That's why I said H2H not resume

 

I know, but this isn't a H2H list, it's a legacy list. The other threads are all the same as well

 

1 Willie Pep
2 Vicente Saldivar
3 Sandy Saddler
4 Salvador Sanchez
5 Abe Attell
6 George Dixon
7 Eusebio Pedroza
8 Freddie Miller
9 Alexis Arguello
10 Terry McGovern

 

Gonna have a good Read of some of these, look for some footage too. Any recommendations? I know about all but 7&10

 

How can you not know Pedroza (RIP)? You must clear the rest of your calendar and begin pouring over his fights.

Probably won’t find much on McGovern...although @BitPlayerVesti might have some good material on him?
