Your Favorite Weight Division (Outside of Heavyweight)

Gimme your top 3 for 126lbs and 122lbs!

 

Top 3 what?

 

Middleweight.

 

the "Little BIGmen" as I call them...

Big & Strong enough to drop bigger men, Small, Lean and Fast enough to move like Flyweights.

Definitely the Middleweights, the overall greatest fighters in Boxing History...

Welters too.

 

Fighters GP, fighters.

 

Also I want to say I think 190lbs being taken away is a travesty, that it would’ve aged well and that 200lbs is too much of a hiding hole for 210-220lbs fighters.

 

My favorite weight division out of all 17 weight classes there are, including heavyweight, which is not one of my favorites (I like featherweight more than heavyweight), is middleweight.

 

122: Gomez, Morales, Fenech

126: Pep, Saddler, Saldivar

I think, you can Saldivar out at 126 for some guys with no film, or Sanchez imo.

 

What did you think of Shibata? I haven’t watched Vincent Saldivar in years, I remember that fight pretty well as being good, I was really impressed with Shibata and I think VS was older.

 

I like Shibata a lot, he's a very underrated fighter imo. Nowhere near top 3 at the weight though. His performance vs Saldivar was incredible, but as you say, Saldivar was quite old. Still a fantastic win, but Saldivar was still champ and a great fighter.

 

Probably Welterweight Middleweight and LHW.

I am not as big as a fan of the lighter divisions compared to say those even though I see the skillset and work rate and how fast the lighter fighters are. Partly physiological I think.

 

cruiserweight and anything up to 118

 

It used to be middleweight for me. But, that division has been total garbage for several years.

 

Anything that isn’t heavyweight.

 

1. Lightweights as we see a great blend of skill and action.

2. Light heavies. Some of the most skilled men ever to box — Ezzard, Archie, Michael Spinks — inhabited this land, but you also get the startling power and a bit of measured pace.
