    I want them banned too, I have reported them on several occasions including today.

    154 is fine (Andrade, Lara, Charlos, Trout, Williams x2, Lubin, etc.) but I think GGG, Canelo (IMHO he's a MW), Jacobs and Deverychenko don't get supplanted by the equivalent 154 fighter though. Understand if people don't rate the latter yet but the first three are clearly top fighters.

    Canelo last fought at LMW, I'd include him there until he makes a perm move at MW but then that just reinforces my point. I voted Middleweight as the weakest because I can't even make at top 5. Not a lot of intriguing fights to make there, and not because ggg is so good. If HBO said, no more b-level fights, he'd be in a real pickle. The other divisions like 122/126/130/135 I think are just unknown more than weak. I don't really follow those midgets and depending on others to tell me who's good is a problem.

    that BLM racist Blackclouds saying why is 154 weak

    You got average guys like Martirosyan, Trout, Bundrage, Liam Smith,Jack Culcay and the weak Charlo bro in the top 10 thats why!

    Bundrage and Martirosyan have been in the top 10 for YEARS! lol Bundrage is a two time world champ,. even the likes of Ishe Smith and Carlos Molina won world titles there. I'll never forget the way the IBF light middleweight title was passed around like a parcel for years from Bum to bum.

    Lara is overrated, chinny and boring with draws to Martirosyan and Molina
    Andrade is unproven and inactive
    Julian Williams has no chin

    It's literally been a one man division there for years thanks to the only elite fighter there Saul Alvarez and now hes moving up.

    do you want me to go on..

    We'll have to disagree on MW I'm afraid.

    Canelo is fighting at SMW (!) next so to me he isn't going back down to SWW. Then the top five at MW is (according to boxrec):
    GGG
    Canelo
    Jacobs
    BJS
    Eubank Jr

    At SWW:
    Charlo
    Lara
    Bundrage (!!!!)
    Andrade
    Charlo

    And to me the MW top 5 are unquestionably better, even if we correct boxrec and put Trout, Lubin, or Williams in for Bundrage. Not saying SWW is worse than MW, just that MW is not the weakest division.

    It depends on the taste and preferences between 154 and 160. 154 has more potential elite talents, promises more competitive and exciting match ups and possible p4p level talents, but It's not deep. MW doesn't have that many p4p level talents but has more # of average to solid contenders. Two guys with the pedigree and talent of Liam Smith and John Thompson would never fight for a vacant title at 160, but there are very few to non possible competitive match ups at the top of it.

    Neither are the weakest divisions.

    Blackclouds looms over this place like a black cloud with his pervasive agenda and constant accusatory rhetoric.

    The IBF title at light middleweight.. champions and challengers since 2004 tells you all what you need to know about the light middleweight division. Bum after Bum getting undeserved title shots.

    You don't seem to understand what the word currently means. Jermall Charlo is the current IBF LMW champion and certainly no bum. The other current belt holders are elite. Try again.

    seriously can you imagine if the likes of Lara, Andrade,Trout, Martrysan, Bundrage, Williams faced Golovkin.. every one would get beat EASILY and knocked out.. Anyone who says otherwise is a troll or a desperate wishful thinker,

    Lara draws with average guys like Martirosyan and Molina and his best win is Austin Trout lol and you claim he's elite lol. Charlo is young and unproven yet.

    theres too many boring average american fighters with similar styles of fighting thats what makes it an uninteresting weak division. Its just quantity bit not much quality. Not many Russians and Ukrainians have turned pro in that division yet.

    MW, Lightweight or maybe Bantamweight?

    Probably MW though. Knew that LMW would get all the hate in here though, despite being one of the most stacked divisions. Every single guy in the top 10 is a solid fighter, but there's just no names in it.

    Alvarez has dominated light middleweight pretty much the same way Golovkin has at middleweight.

    Yet Middleweight has real ELITE future P4P type prospects like Sergiy Derevyanchenko and Jason Quigley coming up.
