I am not sure why this is such an argument, I think Will was just making a statement of fact:

Current number of active featherweights = 1,091

The following are Remillard opponents that are still active:

Fighter---boxrec rank---percentile

Magallon--------134--------88th
J.S. Perez-------229--------80th
Manuel Perez----159--------86th
Jose Hernandez--109--------91st
Oscar De La Cruz-339-------69th
Leo Martinez-----247-------78th
Edward Valdez---314-------72nd
Ricky Alexander--618-------44th
Yamin Mohammad-342------69th


Even if boxrec's rankings are as flawed as I think they are, the last four opponents are in the upper quarter of what's available world-wide in the division right now. While they are not top flight fighters, they are not plumbing the depths of stiffdom either.
