people always go on about fighters being underatted but lets talk bout certain divisions being underated. for example people always go on about light weltereight not being that strong but it has a number of exciting possible match ups. Whats your opinion!
Featherweight has alot of great match-ups but these guys dont want to fight each other for some reason.
Featherweight definitely trouble is, the better fighters seem intent on hiding behind belts, which is a shame.
It's not like the days when Barrera, Morales, and to a lesser extent Marquez and Pacquiao were there.
Heavyweights. For a divsion that is almost 100% exclusive, ie no division jumping, there is more or close to the talent any other division has if you close the borders of every class.
The current heavies are awful, they are simply too big. unless a guy is 6'6, weighing in at 230+ is bound to be a hindrance - i would like to see cruiser either scrapped or put back down to 190
I'm not saying it's a great division at the moment by any means, but I think it's underestimated because it's full of eastern Europeans. If those Eastern Europeans were Americans the division would be twice as highly regarded as it is now, imo. There would also be a lot more money floating around it.
Heavyweight. Most people go about saying that the division is absolute ****. On a scale of 0 to 10 its a 0. When in actuality I believe its around a 5-6. Which makes it the most underrated overall in my opinion. You have to give a mention to some of the divisions beneath the Feathers which do have some nice talent but nobody pays attention to them.
Junior featherweight. You have proven guys like Israel Vazquez, Rafael Marquez, Celestino Caballero, Steve Molitor, and Juan Manuel Lopez. And then there are the possible contenders, containing some great names like Daniel Ponce De Leon, Rey Bautista, Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym, Ricardo Cordoba, and Jhonny Gonzalez. Those are some impressive talents.
