I will have a 32 Fighter. Jr Lightweightweight Tournament. I have a list of 22 fighters(In no Particullar order). Please give me names of obvious omisions & I will have Mini-Tourney to fill the last 10 slots. Hector Camacho, Julio C. Chavez, Alfredo Escalera, Alexis Arguello, Jose Luis Castillo, Tod Morgan, Kid Chocolate, Sandy Saddler, Samuel Serrano, Rafael Limon, Cornelius Boza-Edwards, Roger Mayweather, Hiroshi Kobayashi, Brian Mitchell, Diego Corrales, Floyd Mayweather Jr. Manny Pacquaio, Juan M. Marquez, Erik Morales, Marco A. Barrera, Gabriel Elorde, Azumah Nelson. I want at least 20 other fighters to have a Mini-Tournament to fill the last 10 slots. Possibilities include: Genaro Hernandez, Bobby Chacon, John Molina, Tony Lopez, Jesse J. Lieja, Joel Casamayor, Yoshiaki Numata, Ben Villaflor, Rocky Lockridge, Wifredo Gomez. Please cast your votes for hopefuls. I will get it all together & probably start it after the current Lightweight Tourney concludes.
Castillo didnt really do anything at 130. Maybe Henry Armstrong, Sandy Saddler, Wilfred Gomez should be in the mix. Sanchez may have come into his own at 130 and Pep fought loads of fights around the 130 mark. Laguana also would have been very at home at 130. Also Duran beat Marcel weighing 128 and Canzoneri would have been near his best at this weight

Most of castillo's early fights were at 130. & he did Kayo Jorge Paez there. Did Armstrong fight at 130? I know he went from feather. to Light. If enough votes I'll put him in.
There wasnt a 130 in their day but Armstrong/Pep/Canzoneri have countless fights at pretty much bang on that weight
It's tricky. They did fight at the weight or around that weight. Before there was a 130 Lb. Division. Still mulling it over...
