    One that feels gets the most attention in this country and why wouldn't it, it's by far the division where we have the most riding on it.

    How would people rate the guys domestically and their chances of winning a world title?

    In no particular order from me;

    1. Buatsi
    2. Hutchinson
    3. Richards
    4. Azeez
    5. Whittaker
    6. Ezra Taylor
    7. Zach Parker
    8. Yarde
    9. Callum Smith
    10. Arthur

    You're right that it's arguably the most exciting division in terms of strength and skill.

    I'm not all that confident in our boys though. I had high hopes for Buatsi but I've a feeling his heart is not really that in it.

    Good fights everywhere you look. Smith beats them all handily, probably by ko.

    No offence but you’d need to be deluded as **** to think that. Smith has been so carefully managed. He hasn’t beat a live opponent since the shell of Groves six years ago.

    He doesn’t fight often enough for sure. Only lost to elite and seemed like the weight caught up with him for Canelo. Just my opinion he beats all them and kos most of them. I’m not a huge fan boy either.

    Did you think he beat Ryder? Smith’s record is paper thin with best wins Fielding and shell of Groves.

    Some great potential match ups there. Wonder how many we'll actually see.

    LHW arguably my favourite division.

    Let’s remember that you thought he would knock out Beterbiev easily enough though so are a Smith lover.
