    How would Fenech have gone against the following?

    Super Bantamweight: Israel Vasquez
    Featherweight: Robert Guerrero
    Super Featherweight: Joan Guzman

    I dont know much about Fenech and just thought i would see how you guys would place him against my 3 favourite fighters from 122 to 130

    It's all subjective isn't it really? Still, I'd back Fenech against the lot of them. He was one hell of a fighter.

    Vazquez and Guerrero he mauls easily on his way to a late stoppage.

    Guzman is out of his prime weight at 130, I think that would be a decent fight. Its hard to see the light hitting Guzman keeping off the Fenech from the first Nelson fight. Guzman hasnt lift up to his potential at this weight, he was more suited to superbantem.
    So was Jeff though, that would be a superb fight. Guzman's destruction of Agaptio Sanchez was one of the performances of the year and I hadnt been that excited about a an up and coming fighter since a young Zab Judah when I saw Guzman at 122. Hard to pick that one but Jeff was one of the true greats at that weight, Guzman never really hung around to prove himself.

    Israel is an awesome fighter but before the Marquez bouts no one considered him p4p material. He was really at the crossroads and much like Gatti after the Ward fights I think he is riding the wave of popularity rather than getting appreciated for his talent.

    Guerrero is just an ok titlist, nothing more at this stage.
