Well too bad for 126 champs cause inoue is not moving up anytime soon. Cause the biggest fight for inoue is junto nakatani not the guys at 126. So that's why 126 champs should be fighting unification and building up their resumes.
It's hilarious how everyone wants inoue to do all the work while rest of them just wait for their payday.Last edited by BoxWhere; 08-10-2024, 03:33 PM.Comment

But that was not real unification as Gamboa was WBA regular belt holder. The real 126 WBA super champion was Chris John.
Technically, Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Orlando Salido should had been the latent unification bout in 2010 (14 years ago), but since Salido rehydrated more than the IBF limit (10 pounds), he lost his belt in the scale.
The last unification was in 2003. Juan Manuel Marquez vs Derrick Gainer for the IBF and WBA featherweight titles. (21 years ago).
Early 2000s featherweight was stacked, with the likes of Luisito Espinosa, Kennedy Mckinney, Naseem Hamed, Kevin Kelley, Orlando Salido, Chris John, Junior Jones, Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez were around.
Too bad Loma was born a bit later, making his debut in 2013.
We haven't had a true unified champ at 126 since JMM.Comment
