    Salvador Sanchez is certainly a great but I doubt he deserves 2 slots in any top 10 list. Off the top of my head I like Saldivar above Sanchez but it will likely be split on lists with one guy above the other.

    I don’t have Attell, Kilbane or Dixon in mine. All three spread their featherweight resumes over a fair few lbs, and as I rank by weight, you’d be more likely to find these three in my ‘super bantam’/122lb rankings.

    H2H Barrera, Pacquiao and Sanchez are the top 3 IMO

    I don't place Pacquiao at any weight due to him being equally effective and having his legacy drawn from all over the place

    I like Pep to beat Sanchez, Barrera too. In fact I'd probably take Saddler over them as well.

    I know, but this isn't a H2H list, it's a legacy list. The other threads are all the same as well :)

    How can you not know Pedroza (RIP)? You must clear the rest of your calendar and begin pouring over his fights.

    Probably won’t find much on McGovern...although @BitPlayerVesti might have some good material on him?
