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

You're an idiot. I'm not saying that Pacquiao would beat SRR, I'm saying he was better than Barrera, Morales, Hamed and Marquez. For you to even compare that to saying Pacquiao would beat SRR goes to show that you are more like Johnco than I am, you're just the other side of the coin.

 

Pacquiao had 1 incredible win (2 in my eyes) at 126 but his body of work around 126 is enough to show that at 126 he is the best fighter at the weight between those in the poll.


Answer me this: Who is a better JrWW, Ricky Hatton or Floyd Maywaether

 

No matter what, polls like this nearly always boil down to who your "favourite" fighter is as opposed to who you honestly think was the best. Whenever Pacs in a poll like this its inevitable he'll come out the winner. Logic flies out the window. If Pac wasnt in included, Morales would likely be the winner. Why? Because he's the next most loved fighter out of them all.

Its very hard to find people who can suspend their favouritism. I get criticized a lot for this. Im a big Hatton fan, and always strongly support him when hes fighting. But i dont think he's that good a fighter and think Manny will destroy him. And for that i get called a "dumb ****" and a million other things. I even got a couple of mentions in the "Top Clown of ESB"

But back to the topic, and after reading through all the posts, it seems to me that Barrera is the rightful winner here.

 

Ricky Hatton, clearly.

Floyd did not do enough work at the weight, and in fact, it was even less impressive of a stay than Manny's was at 126lb.

 

well then its clear to see why we disagree.

while you think its Hatton, clearly... I think its Maywaether, clearly.


Does that make me a Mayweather fanboy?

 

Fair enough point.

 

Weres Azumah Nelson?

 

I voted Barrera i think his resume at 126 was better then the other fighters posted on the poll despite the fact they all hold wins over him.

 

Hamed

 

I think Hamed has deprived us of some mega matches.

If he stayed dedicated I think he would have had the beating of Manny, and Morales.

I think Marquez and Barrera would have had Naz's number as they were counter punchers.

Though if Freddie Norwood(tricky southpaw) could beat Marquez I would have to give Naz a shot.
