    Tony Harrison

    Ievgen Khytrov

    Andrey Meryasev

    Sergiy Derevyanchenko

    Arif Magomedov

    Willie Monroe Jr

    Dominic Wade

    Ivan Golub

    Ryōta Murata

    Patrick Nielsen

    Dmitry Chudinov

    Billy Joe Saunders

    Chris Eubank Jr

    Marat Kulumbegov

    Anthony Ogogo

    Sherzod Husanov

    Adam Etches


    And the division will be made even more interesting with the boxers currently at 154 who probably will eventually move up:

    Alvarez, Andrade, Trout, Martirosyan, Lara, the Charlo brothers, etc.

    And in the meantime it isn't very good at all. Cotto's the champ and he's a 154lber, Quillen ain't ****, a shot to **** Jermaine Taylor has a belt now, FFS...

    No need to get butthurt and go into deflection mode. I'm just saying that the MW division isn't that good currently, which is true. :bart

    Middleweight hasn't really been strong since probably the Fab 4. It's usually 1 strong middleweight for many years until someone shows up.

    When Hopkins was champ the other champs were Keith Holmes and William Joppy. Trinidad scorched Joppy, where as Hopkins ran through Holmes, Joppy, Trinidad and Howard Eastman without breaking a sweat. He then ran into the young lion in Taylor.

    Taylor was getting flack for facing stiffs until he came across Pavlik. Pavlik got the same flack until Martinez came along. No one was too excited with the opponents Martinez had after Pavlik until GGG showed up. GGG is making short work of everyone as well. It's just a weak division overall.

    Sergiy Derevyanchenko was beaten by a natural 147, Brian Castaño. :hi:

    I agree both fighters should have been included but why is Ogogo a sham he's still just facing journeymen?
