    The 154 and 168 pound divisions need to be abolished, and we'd get a bettter middleweight division.

    Really crap division, man.

    Looking at the Boxrec rankings though. there are three standout amateurs on the come up:

    22. Hebert Conceicao (Brazil), 10-0 (5), Olympic Gold Medalist, World Championship Bronze medalist.
    23. Yoenli Hernandez (Cuba), 9-0 (8), World Championship Gold Medalist x 2.
    37. Gleb Bakshi (Russia/Serbia), 6-0 (4), World Championship Gold Medalist, Olympic Bronze Medalist.

    It'll be interesting to see how these three look when they step up.

    Still bummed out that Janibek popped. Him vs Crawford (or maybe the winner of Ortiz/Ennis) would’ve been very, very intriguing.
