    Am I wrong or is this not the most stacked division in boxing currently?

    - Terence Crawford – PFP number 1
    - Israil Madrimov
    - Tim Tszyu
    - Sebastian Fundora
    - Vergil Ortiz
    - Serhii Bohachuk
    - Erickson Lubin

    That’s not to mention that Spence Jr and Boots Ennis may make the leap very soon.

    That’s some high calibre boxing talent.

    Yep, loaded with firepower.

    And the fun thing about it is that all the top guys are very different from each other which makes for interesting fights.

    You could also throw in names like Ramos and Castano (where is he?) and even Charlo if he finds his testicles.

    You're not wrong. In fact, you're so right, it's frightening. Any division with King Timmy in it is a banger.

    "it's frightening."

    Big time. Considering 3 or 4 boxers out of that list would beat Madrimov who just pushed the pound for pound to his limits.

    Yep it is a hot division and when it’s all said and done Tim Tszyu will come out on top.

    6 months ago, if he beat Fundora he was on top of the division.

    Tzsyu is going to have to elevate himself into a different realm to come out on top of the current crop.

    Lubin isn´t among the best at 154. In his last fight he needed the judges help to get the win over Ramos.

    Lubin has beaten some good fringe contenders, but he is not among the "highest caliber of talent."

    1. Crawford is a bum with a poor resume
    2. Crawford is not P4P anything
    3. Who is Crawford? nobody knows and nobody will remember.

    Same applies to Canelo

    Don't get me wrong they are great champions and quality operators but they and the media try to make them out to be something they're not and they will both be forgotten as boring gingers.

    Now I'd let both of them off if they were humble and didn't run around acting like they're the reincarnation of boxing jesus...but both of them do.

    Atleast Davis keeps quiet whilst he fails to capitalizes on his talent.

    The only men in boxing who people should care about right now is Fury & Usyk and their retirement fight in December. Because these two men are the only people who have mattered in boxing since Floyd Mayweather died...retired in 2015 after losing to Jake Paul.
