    You are all wrong. It was Hank Armstrong.
    Then Pep
    then Pacquiao

    Top 10 in no order from fighters i've seen enough of.


    Salvador Sanchez
    Naseem Hamed
    Eusebio Pedroza
    Alexis Arguello
    Azumah Nelson
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Vincente Saldivar = Recently been able to get some footage of him
    Danny Lopez
    Erik Morales
    Marco Antonio Barrera

    Guys like Luisito Espinosa, Tom Johnson, deserve a mention aswell. Infact you could place those 2 fighters on the list, because they made many title defenses. But mine was just a quick list not very thought out, i'll make a better one later.

    I've watched Luisito's fights and I can put him up there.

    it would be Pac, Arguello,Nelson,Sanchez,Lopez, Barrera,Hamed, Morales for me.

    I can't believe you mention Espinosa but not Pac.

    whats hard to believe? just because you put pac on a pedestal doesnt mean he is the greatest feather weight.

    I would have Prince NAseem on their not pacman, pacman has never stayed at 1 weight that long.

    Overall its Pep for me... but from those I've seen a lot of then its Sanchez!

    Based on what I've seen, what I've read/ researched my top 5 would be:

    Pep
    Armstrong
    Sandler
    Miller
    Kid Chocolate
    The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be

    I'll start of by saying that Henry, Kid Chocolate, Alexis, Erik, MAB and Pac all did better at different divisions there for I rate them in those divisions, accordingly.

    As usual on my lists you will not see any names of fighters I've not seen with my own eyes. You will see fighters I've seen a handful of fights on and know well...

    With that in mind here's how I see it.

    1. "Chava" Sanchez
    2. JMM
    3. Azumah
    4. Saldivar
    5. Pedroza
    6. "Springfield Rifle" Moore
    7. "Sugar" Ramos
    8. Naz
    9. "Little Red" Lopez
    10. J. Famechon

    Honors: "Ñato" Marcel, Winstone, Luisito, "Mantecas" Medina, Baby Arizmendi & Jorge Paez.

    Manny Pacquiao to my knowledge only had like 2 or 3 fights at Featherweight, he was better at other divisions. I don't think he deserves a spot in the top 10 Featherweights of all time based on a few fights.

    As for Roberto's comment i only listed the fighters i have seen enough of like you. I listed fighters like Erik Morales, MAB, Alexis Arguello, because i couldn't think of anyone else really.

    I know they were better at other weightclasses but fighters like Sugar Ramos, and ETC. I haven't seen or i haven't seen enough of, so i just added MAB, Erik Morales, Alexis Arguello to fill the top 10 in. Because there the fighters i know enough of to list.
