    Simple thread really - which fighters do you think are fighting in the wrong weight class.
    I'll start with two of the Beijing lads:
    Billy Joe Saunders who I think with dedication could make Super Welter (154);
    Frankie Gavin who could (and probably in the future will) make Super Lightweight (140).
    Who else?

    not necessarily currently in the wrong weight, but i'd expect sam eggington to eventually move upto light middleweight

    BJS, Gavin and Paul Smith as mentioned are the obvious answers for me.

    Romeo Romaeo should be a featherweight at least far too much muscle which is not not needed for barxing.

    Dont think liam walsh is a genuine lightweight, would be much more suited to sfw.

    billy joe and frankie gavin are both boxing at a weight too high.
