the jr lightweight has a rich tradition and give us a lot of hall of famers..who you you think is the best 130 lb fighter today? valero is now a 135 fighter
there is no 130 king at the moment but it is blatantly clear if you want to be the superfeather king you're going to have to go through Soto
linares might take over.. but lets not forget Chris john were he won a controversial win against JMM he might step up to 130
130 is drab at the moment. If he makes the transition well, Guerrero vs. Soto could be a GREAT fight! Linares will not step up to fight either of these guys, he has a decent skill set but I can't see him beating Soto or Guerrero. Hopefully after he wins a title at 126 this year Gamboa will move back up, then there would be some fights really worth seeing! Although he seems to have the same disease as Shane Mosley, being tough for his own good and shipping unessecary punishment. Unlike Shane, Gamboa seems (slightly) vulnerable, and whilst I think he has a good chin, getting into gun fights with the likes of Soto when he could be outboxing them is not going to do much for his longevity.
Soto and John wuld be an interesting clash of styles. I don't think Linares can bring anything to the table that would allow him to beat Chris John.
