Yikes. When you type up that top 10, does anyone in the room say out loud ... "maybe this isn't the best idea?"
Rivas and Jennings the only decent fighters, maybe Evgeny too, not sure. Babic is entertaining at least.
Yea you look at that Top 10 and it seems like the sole porpose of this new division is more sanction fees for we be crooks...but for the fans, I guess if the fights are good... Rivas vs Merhy could be a good fight, don't know about the rest of them
I demand to know where Charles “I walk this earth like a God” Martin ranks on this list. I know his fat ass would never make weight but think of the memes.
Hey I'm glad that Allan The Savage Babic is on that list. As crued as he is, this allows any Hearn to move him in a much faster pace and he is a fun fighter to watch to be honest. Hopefully he can keep honing his skills and potentially fight that other big guy in his hometown. Or was it in Croatia?
Same old, same old. It'll probably be accepted in years to come. For example, Murray Sutherland won the SMW title in 1984. People felt the same about another paper belt entering the mix.
How did they get these rankings? Did these fighters give an indication that they would be keen to fight in this division. or are they just fighters from hw & cw that someone in the office thinks might make the weight?
Rivas vs Jennings rematch would be cool. I've always liked Jennings even if he isn't anything special,wouldn't mind him being bridgerweight champ if that must be a thing. Also assuming that they just ranked the fighters that were interested in fighting at the weight, as Usyk, and Hunter would clearly be 1 and 2.
