    Imma go for 115lbs and I'd say Kazuto Ioka is my favourite boxer there.

    All the Philboxeres are getting long in the tooth. So i have been searching for the next gen talent.

    I found this kid. Miel Fajardo. Flyweight div.

    Real good choice on Kazuto.
    One of my favourites is Inoue, but I find LHW to be a better division than BW at the moment, and Beterbiev has made me a fan after his performance last time out. Gonzalez also technically counts as active at the moment, so I'll always support him. And I'm very interested on where Daigo Higa goes next.

    I also unironically like Wanheng. TBE.

    There's the heavyweights, then there's everybody else.

    My favourites are Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte.

    I love TBE as well, he's actually a very good boxer. His combination punching is fantastic and he absolutely schooled Khonco last time out who I'd rate at third or fourth in the division currently. Hotly anticipating that Higa comeback too.

    I couldn't back two drug cheats mate sorry. Otherwise love watching heavyweights but not getting invested in the division either.

    Cruiserweight has been my favourite division for a long time now. Among the current crop(with Usyk, Gassiev, Drozd, Lebedev and Diablo are basically out of the picture), I’d say Dorticos is my current favourite. But I expect Alexei Egorov to take the throne within a year or so.

    I like 175

    Beterbiev, Ramirez, Gvozdyk, E Alvarez, Kovalev, Pascal, Bivol and now Canelo. And Callum Smith and Benavidez may move up soon.

    Cruiserweight was great a couple of years ago and is still good, but Usyk moving up creates a huge vacuum.

    My favourite active fighters are Usyk and Saunders, but i don't particularly like SMW or HW.

    My Favourite's LHW and my all time favourites there are Ezzard Charles, Marvin Johnson, Saad Muhammad, Julio Cesar Gonzalez, Micheal Moorer, Lloyd Marshall, Jimmy Bivins, Maxie Rosenbloon, Yaqui Lopez and Antonio Tarver to do a top 10. My favourites today is Callum Johnson and Kovalev.
