Who do you think should really be at the top?
I've only seen a full-fight of Raheem once, and it was against a way over the hill Luisito Espinosa, but the kid's definitely got some talent, I saw bits of his fight with Rocky Juarez. The two bad things I saw w/ Raheem is his chin doesn't seem to hold up too well and I question his heart. How do you guys think Raheem would do against the top featherweights?
i did not see the raheem-espinosa fight but what i know raheem got caught & went down in the early rounds, but rebounded and stopped the aging veteran and ex-champ espinosa....
RSL, do you think raheem got rob with the rocky juarez fight...
i guess against the top fw raheem is about 3-1 underdog, but has at the least a punchers chance against anybody, but if what you said about his heart is true, then no way he can beat the top guys specially no. 1 (pac) & 2 (jmm)...
Exaggeration. 10 or 15, 33 or 34, does it matter? They don't even stand a chance against top Jr. feathers who I see will eventually move up, Larios, Guzman, Vazquez, Hussein.
Taht looks like a good crop for the future.

#33-Rocky Juarez
#34-Zahir Raheem
Here's my top ten. (I see Barrera at super feather because of the Morales fight, so he's not in this list.)
#1 - Manny Pacquiao (Ring Magazine champ)
#2 - Juan Manuel Marquez (WBA/IBF champ)
#3 - In-Jin Chi (WBC champ)
#4 - Scott Harrison (WBO champ)
#5 - Chris John (WBA interim champion)
#6 - Oscar Larios (he moved up from super bantam)
#7 - Ricardo Juarez (WBC Continental Americas titleholder)
#8 - Spend Abazi (WBA International titleholder)
#9 - William Abelyan
#10 - Zahir Raheem
I kind of wished Marquez defended against one of these fighters in this list instead of Salido a while back.
Why is Rocky and Zahir at 33 & 34, I think this two guys are in the top 10 or 15 ...
