  • Would be nice if Featherweight was more active.

    Division is as stacked as Light Welterweight, and Light Middleweight, but there has not been a unification bout for so long and the big fights don't happen as often, unless it is a noteworthy title defense. No contender against contender is often made, which makes fighters like Lopez, Ford and Ball a fresh of breath air, most pad their resumes with stylistic advantages to claim a title shot. Ball was matched so fiercely with Vargas and Ford, yet after earning a title, started fighting Super Bantamweights multiple times in a row. Lopez never stopped fighting top competition until he lost to Leo. Pretty fun fighter. Vargas might not be the most fun considering his lack of punching power, but at least he went for it, fought Magsayo, then tried his luck at 130 against Foster then moved down to face Ball while coming off a loss. Figueroa fights once a year until recently, but he fought Castro, Magsayo, Fulton and Gonzalez. Gonzalez got a few controversial losses like Dogboe and Figueroa but he lost against the best in the division.

    Current champions
    Rafael Espinoza
    Stephen Fulton
    Angelo Leo
    Nick Ball

    Contenders:
    Robeisy Ramirez
    Luis Alberto Lopez
    Otabek Kholmatov
    Bruce Carrington
    Rey Vargas
    Brandon Figueroa
    Joet Gonzalez
    Luis Nery
    Edward Vazquez
    Sulaiman Segawa
    Carlos Castro
    Mirco Cuello
    Tomoki Kameda
    Sam Goodman
    Mateus Heita (Likely will get more prominent fights now)

    Notable Upcoming prospects:
    Yan Santana
    Troy Nash
    Brandon Mosqueda
    Albert Gonzalez
    Reito Tsutsumi
    Jan Paul Rivera Pizarro
    Hector Munguia Jr (Might move down from 130)

    Might be more that I don't know off and there might upcoming Super Bantamweights. Some like Picasso are screwed if they tried moving up right now. Others might thrive like Fulton. Though I think most are at a disadvantage like Tapales though they might win some wins there.
