I know this has probably been covered but I am having search trouble.
Can anyone provide a listing of some of the top Jr.lightweight/super featherweight fighters of the sport? From the Golden Era on? Thanks

Floyd Mayweather Jr has to be at the top or damned near it in this division.

OK, I will take a stab at it. It is tricky because the division didn't even exist in the early days, was dormant i the 1940s and 1950s and was often used as just a stepping stone for fighters moving up to lightweight. I didn't include fighters who probably good at 130 but spent little or no time there. Armstrong, Canzoneri, Saddler etc. probably would have been great at the weight.
Naturally, this going to favor more recent fighters. Anyway, here goes:
1. Alexis Arguello
2. Kid Chocolate
3. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
4. Julio Cesar Chavez
5. Marco Antonio Barrera
6. Azumah Nelson
7. Erik Morales
8. Flash Elorde
9. Hector Camacho
10. Rocky Lockridge
11. Cornelius Boza-Edwards
12. Bobby Chacon
13. Tony Lopez
14. Johnny Dundee
15. Benny Bass
16. Todd Morgan
17. Brian Mitchell
18. Jessie James Leija
19. John John Molina
20. Gabriel Ruelas

Sandy Saddler would have to be in the mix too.
