    My bet would be Azumah Nelson. He was solid muscle and iron.

    Each of the top 25 featherweights of all time (by my eye) had an equal neck size, which is mad.

    Can't wait for the follow up threads:
    What Welterweight had the largest biceps
    What Bantamweight had the largest calves
    What Light Heavyweight had the smallest wrists

    Orlando Salido.

    Salido v. Gamboa was probably the most neck circumference in a featherweight title fight.

    I'd start with Italian featherweights first as they seem to be a genetically thick necked folk
