Current top 5 featherweights

The division is fairly weak. How would you ranked the featherweights.

I think its so weak that Leo Santa Cruz still gives anyone of the young lions a run for their money.

Rey Vargas beat the only dude in the division with any sort of star potential and is ranked by boxrec at number one. Hard to argue against him being the top dawg.

It’s a tricky one. I think the Warrington of 2018 would be in with a shout of the top spot, especially considering LSC is older now and hasn’t competed at the featherweight limit for a long while. I think the Lara fight took quite a bit out of him though.

Wood would have a punchers’ chance against most, but I’m not massive on his ability. Conlan is good technically, but fragile.

Given the injury Russell suffered, I’m not putting an awful lot of stock in Magsayo’s win - thus, Vargas winning a split against him probably shouldn’t cement him at 1 either.

Honestly, lord knows. I’d have Figueroa in my top 5, but who’s he really fought at 126 either? Navarette would be up there too.

Then you’ve got fringe contenders like Gonzalez, Dogboe, Lopez etc

Robeisy might be number 1 in a couple of years time.
