    Hamed accomplished the most at featherweight.


    Pac beat Morales and JMM at 130. Those are two of his top 3 wins.

    JMM had the stunning victories of Gainer and Medina at feather which somehow made him a top 10 p4p

    Barrera had some great wins- tapia, ayala, hamed, morales. Kayo loss to Pac. I would have no trouble with him being tops. He had great wins, but his reign was short.

    Morales had a few very good wins at the weight and lost to Barrera.

    i guess it comes down to what "best" means:

    at featherweight-
    Accomplishments: 1. Hamed, 2. Barrera, 3. Morales, 4. Pac, 5. JMM
    Best Wins: 1. Barrera, 2. Hamed, 3. Morales, 4. Pac, 5. JMM
    Skills: 1. Barrera, 2. Morales

    hard to say
