All title holders are under 30 years old, some in their prime while others will be in a couple of years. How would you rank the top 5 of the division?, who's the top guy? what matchups would you like to see? anybody else to look for? Discuss...
1. Chris John 2. Jorge Linares 3. Robert Guerrero 4. Rocky Juarez 5. Steve Luevano The matchup I would want to see the most if a unification battle between the two undefeated champions - Linares and John.
Rocky Juarez, that's who I left out. If he decides to come back down to 126 after the JMM fight, he can beat some of these guys (Luevano, & Guerrero). I don't like his chances at 130, but he can be a top guy at 126.
The featherweight champs have a combined record of 118(64)-2-1-1 Pretty impressive when you consider the average age at only 25
