    It's time for the featherweights now. Once again, I'm helpless in this division. What were the best featherweight fights of the 80s?

    Yes, did you read the rules? idk, but they can't be on the Fight City list. Have you read the list?

    Sanchez-Nelson was the best IMO.

    Nelson-Gomez was also a great fight.

    McGuigan-Cruz was a great fight.

    Fenech-Callejas was an action packed fight. Very one sided, but fast paced and violent.

    Same with Esparragoza-Cruz. One sided, but a great fight.
