    Russell is pretty obviously the top guy, as Gonzalez who he beat has way better credentials at featherweight than anyone Frampton, Selby, or anyone else beat. It's ridiculous to say LSC was as proven at feather as Gonzalez. LSC only beat Mares, and Mares only beat Pone De Leon, then lost to Gonzalez.

    Selby however I think beats Russell, and after how well Frampton fought he might beat Russell too, as Russell doesn't have the poise under fire that Frampton does. Throw in Valdez and there should be a lot of good featherweight matchups the next few years. 130's a better division so Loma's better there, but with Loma gone featherweight's more open and competitive now.

    It's not obvious imo.

    Plus GRJ isn't winning the poll so your opinion is a minority one.

    I agree Loma moving up leaves it wide open be a use we have a lot of action type guys who can all beat each other.

    Plus if Rigo moves up there'll always be the question of if someone is too big.
