It's an incredibly deep division. I've never actually rated the Feathers in order but I will be doing so shortly. I'm gonna guess he will be outside my top 15. Marco was an all-time great for sure, but he probably rates higher on an all around list than he does in any single weight class.

Probably one of the four or five deepest weightclasses in history.

Light, Welter, Middle, Light-Heavy...Feather (in no order)?

Definitely not top 15 . . I'd put Morales over Barrera all-time

I disagree, I'd put Barrera above Morales.

I put him a spot or two above Morales. I also put him top ten of all time. Pep would be number one (prime Pep, pre-plane wreck). Boxrec has Hamed number eleven - love what Barrerra did to him. Outboxed, outslugged - dominated him. Of course somehow Boxrec has Salvador Sanchez only 21! That is nuts. Sanchez is top five in my book.

Boxrec's all time rankings are putrid. Hamed doesn't sniff the top 15.

because it's all math. No "all math" approach can be considered credible.
