Marquez. 122-135
JMM never won a title at 122.
Erik won his other titles legitimately, but this one should not be counted as part of a historic accomplishment. He can change all that depending on who he defends it against. If he wins against Bradley, Maidana, or Mathysse who can say his belt isn't legitimate?
Arce isn't or shouldn't be considered the first and Soto isn't on the cusp for the same reason.
About as legitimate as Pac's 8 division titles.
Theres a belt on the line for this fight because if its a championship fight for Morales it sells better.
yep no less legit than mannys bullsh1t 8th divisional title

If he wins I think he'll be the first. While always a Barrera fan, good for Morales. Regardless of whether it's vacant, he's always fought whoever was put in front of him and if they had offered him to fight any champ at 140 I think he would have taken it.
