Featherweight (126lbs) has historically been a division that alot of the greatest Mexican boxers of all time have crossed through. Salvador Sanchez, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, Vicente Saldivar, Juan Manuel Marquez etc... In the last 10 years, the Featherweight division has produced a substantial amount of Mexican World Champions, with various styles exciting styles. Which one do you like the most, and which one H2H do you think is probably the best. The List: Leo Santa Cruz Emanuel Navarrete Luis Alberto Lopez Oscar Valdez Oscar Salido Mauricio Lara Rafael Espinoza Rey Vargas LSC has the strongest resume at the moment but I've always liked Navarretes unique uppercut and thought they would've made a great fight of extreme volume vs moderate volume and awkwardness. But I think my favorite right now has to be Luis Alberto Lopez. No one's as exciting as he is in the entire sport, and with the wild angles and constant power shots, quick closing speed and unique movements. He's capable of beating everyone that can step in the ring with him at 126.
LSC for me. I first met him when he was like 8-0, he looked like a mini Margarito and fought like him too. Lopez is a dark horse that really did come out of nowhere.
