Who is the Best Featherweight(126) in the last 20 years?

@ John being on a list excluding the likes of Fenech. I agree with WhatARock. Fenech had the tools and ability to beat them all. How about guys like Azumah Nelson and Brian Mitchell at 130? Do they count? Or guys like Zaragoza and Vazquez at 122? Are we just considering the 126 pound weight class?

 

I believe the question is who is the "best" FW and not who is the "greatest" FW! In that case its a comparison of H2H fantasy matchups. Philla had a good point with RJJ where is perceived as one of the best SMW ever regardless of his resume there.

 

Barrera

 

He was mate he didnt leave till around may-june of 1989..putting him just inside the 20 year time frame.

 

A peak Hamed would beat them all.Before he left Brendan Ingle the guy was untouchable

 

nuthugging has nothing to do with it.

Someone could have 1 fight at a weight and be the best fighter in that weightclass. Just cause you don't stay at the weight doesn't mean the other guys are better than you.

Everyone thinks RJJ was a better fighter at 168 than Joe Calzaghe. Even though Joe had 4 times more fights at that weight than RJJ did.

Typical ESB bull****, say something positive about a fighter and some *** labels you a nuthugger

 

WRONG people say that Jones was a better fighter then Joe, and at 168 in his prime he would have made quick work of Joe...As far as who was the best at the weight??? Its pretty clear that its Joe. And another point Jones dominated when he was at 168. He distroyed EVERYONE he fought at the weight including the then p4p king in Toney. Pac didnt do that:bbb

 

Hamed...cant be Pac..he didn't fight enough at that weight..Pac maybe over Hamed in terms of ATG status...But when it comes to 126 I'd take Hamed over Pac or Barrera..I know Barrera beat him but overall Hamed was the best there in the last 20 years...WHY IS JOHN EVEN ON THE LIST??

 

Fenech in his prime would have beat the living **** out of all of them.

 

voted Morales, that's mainly favouritism though. There are a few fighters thre that are so close that I feel entitled.

 

Barrera has wins over prime Morales and prime Hamed. Kelley and Tapia.

He was the best Featherweight of the bunch. Marquez didn't beat anybody of any real quality, and Pacquiao had a few fights there and didn't even win them all.

It's Marco.

 

I'll take Pac, with Morales up there
