In terms of H2H ability, drawing upon featherweights I've seen at least an hour's worth of prime footage on, I'd rank em like this: 1. Saddler 2. Marcel 3. Saldivar 4. Arguello 5. Sanchez 6. Nelson 7. Pacquiao 8. Pedroza 9. Barrera/Morales 10. Winstone/Famechon/Marquez/Legra
SS,have you been drinking ? Not to include of only the "modern' featherweights,the human buzz saw Henry Armstrong ,who terrorized the 126lb class,and the most astounding boxer the great Willie Pep,shows a disrespect for the thread at hand...???
Burt, to ask such a question shows a disrespect to me :good (Sarcasm aside, I haven't seen an hour's worth of PRIME Pep and Armstrong footage AT featherweight. I didn't want to rank guys at the weight that I have not seen a fair bit of and a fair bit which shows them at their best).
