Which San Antonio-born boxer held the WBC super featherweight title in 1994?

Which San Antonio-born boxer held the WBC super featherweight title in 1994?

• A. Manny Pacquiao
• B. Jesse James Leija
• C. Marco Antonio Barrera
• D. Erik Morales

Answer: (B)

The question tests recognizing a boxer's birthplace in relation to a world title in a specific year. The WBC super featherweight title is the championship for boxers at 130 pounds, governed by the World Boxing Council. Jesse James Leija fits both parts: he is a boxer born in San Antonio, Texas, and he held the WBC super featherweight title in 1994. The other boxers listed are not San Antonio-born (Pacquiao is Filipino; Barrera and Morales are Mexican) and did not hold the WBC 130-pound title in that year. So Leija is the correct choice because he uniquely matches the birthplace and the title during that period.
