who is the best @ 126 for the last 30 years?

Salvador Sanchez or Alexis Arguello...can't decide which of these two could be considered the best, but they are the most dominant I've seen at this weightclass.as greata fighter as alexis was he does not belong in the discussion at 126, now at 130it is another subject. my vote goes to "el alacran" eusebio pedroza. 19 successful defenses of the title against any and all. sal sanchez a very close second.

bless u man... he was champ @ 126 yes... but his reign was from the 70s @ that weight! & the weight division he truly made damage was @ 130! you're right. thanks for clearing that up. green k

Sanchez, he wasn't just one of the best of the last 30 years, he was one of the best of all time. What makes me pick Sanchez over Pedroza is mainly Sanchez' skills. Shame they never fought. And I think Hamed deserves a mention here. Arguello was a better fighter than Hamed and Pedroza but his reign at 126 wasn't as good as either guy even though he holds a win over Olivares. Edit: Arguello fought at 126 before 1980 so it discounts him from this, just realized this myself.

naz was the last star at that division his wins are very underrated because of how badly he got pwned on his last fight

Salvador Sanches.

Barrera, Arguello, Sanchez. I'm Nicaraguan, so I'll go with "El Flaco Explosivo" Arguello. bless u man... he was champ @ 126 yes... but his reign was from the 70s @ that weight! & the weight division he truly made damage was @ 130!

Think hes talking about Juanma Lopez.. oh... he has a great chance though if he unifies against the current pack of titlists/contenders... GAMBOA, CHRIS JOHN, RIGONDEAUX, CABALLERO, RAFA, ROXAS, CRISTOBAL CRUZ & JORGE SOLIS... its quite a packed weight class... a good opportunity for him...
