With the recent world-wide exposure of Golovkin, I'd have to go with MW. GGG, Geale, Martinez, Macklin, Quillin (looking a lot like Golovkin in his last fight) Pirog ... A match between any of these guys is going to be exciting. Imagine a MW super six with this lineup! Plus, there's guys like Sturm, & Murray just waiting for another chance. Of course, virtually all the divisions beloe SMW are pretty stacked right now. I'ts been a great year for boxing, and 2013 should be even better, if the promoters can get there sht together.
Which proves what he said about how weak the division is. Ward is top man sitting high but there are no top fighters left in the division. Kessler was beaten by the previous eras champ when he was old at end of career and never looked the same since. Froch lost to that terrible version of Kessler coming off a loss, not to forget that Froch has a low workrate and is slow and old Abraham hasnt done much at SMW, his win over Steiglitz was debateable and that was Steiglitz who was destroyed by Andrade from the previos era who couldnt compete in that era. Stevenson like Ward suffered against D Boone and who has Stevenson beat? Nobody Dirrell hasnt done anything at SMW at all. Its very weak times at the moment. the best win for Ward was unwell doubloe vision suffering Kessler which tells you what was left in the division I think there are some interesting fights which could be made at LWW and WW
Bailey you're becoming more like that troll Jabber with evey post you print about Ward. By you're own admission , Groves is the next big thing at 168 and Clev at 175. Chavez jr will move up at some point. He has solid competition all around him.
Flyweight Marquez Viloria Reveco Concepcion Segura Igarashi Mthalane Nunez Sosa And a lot of talent. Its a very, very strong divison with spectacular fights.
I go with jr welter; Garcia Matthysse Khan Rios Alvarado Maidana Marquez And the undisputed ; canelo Alvarez
154....Floyd,cotto,trout,alvarez, berto,maybe ortiz he said hes going to come back at this weight, lara, el perro,Vanes Martirosyan and kirkland does it get better?
SMW has died down since its only really Froch and Ward left as the two major players and there's not a lot of sense in rematching them after last time...still, I'd like to see how much Kessler has left. JMW is my pick, but SBW is a close second.
140, 147, 154, 160 all good divisions now. 168 is finished nothing more to made there. 175 is appalling
A couple of months ago I was trying to figure out a quick, non bias way to determine the strength of the top guys in each division. I ended up making a simple list of the number of Boxrec points the 10th ranked fighter in each division had. I thought it was interesting, although by no means conclusive. Results were: Middleweight - 394 Light Middleweight - 391 Heavyweight - 385 Welterweight - 361 Super Middleweight - 312 Light welterweight - 277 Light Heavyweight - 272 Cruiserwieght - 260 Featherweight - 260 Lightweight - 248 Super Featherweight - 247 Super Bantamweight - 244 Bantamweight - 195 Flyweight - 182 Super Flyweight - 159 Light Flyweight - 126 Minimumweight - 106
There are some great divisions out there, but none of which have great fights announced, yet. And thats why boxing is in shambles.
