This is taking into account solely accomplishments at Featherweight?

 

No.

I am prepared to consider acomplishments at a higher weight if they are relevant.

 

Ah, that would explain why Armstrong's #1. Makes sense though, considering his actual weight for most of his success at higher weight classes.

 

When you say best featherweight I take it to mean-

Best fighter who was at that weight for a significant portion of their career.

I do not reward champions who wont step up at the expense of those that will.

 

The Featherweights are an incredibly talented group of fighters; my all-time list goes:

10: Salvador Sanchez
9: Joey Archibald
8: Azumah Nelson
7: Johnny Kilbane
6: George Dixon
5: Henry Armstrong
4; Eusebio Pedroza
3: Abe Attell
2: Willie Pep
1: Sandy Saddler
