Which weight class is the weakest right now? (After Bridgerweight of course). Middleweight, Super Middleweight, Light Flyweight, Flyweight, Light Heavyweight, Welterweight, Cruiserweight, Minimumweight, Super Featherweight ???
Minimumweight is the worst (good champions though). But that feels a bit unfair because there are so few boxers at minimumweight, so I’d say middleweight instead. Second worst is light heavyweight. Bivol and Beterbiev haven’t fought in a year, Benavidez is moving to cruiserweight (which shows how slow the division is), and Coe, Yarde, and Buatsi now all suck (entertainment and skill-wise). Other fighters are forgettable, though I think Najee Lopez is great. Cruiserweight is also garbage, but cruiserweight was never really “great” until that tournament, so it’s just business back to usual. The rest of the divisions you posted are really fun, though, and I can’t believe people think super middleweight isn’t stacked; it is, because 168 prospects actually fight each other and there are entertaining fighters in the division.
What I don't like in Minimumweight is that the two champions Melvin Jerusalem and Oscar Collazo both are ducked Pedro Taduran who is the most underrated champion for me P4P with Masamichi Yabuki in Flyweight. It's true that Middleweight have almost only 2 or 3 top levels boxers when you see that Lara is ranked number 1 at 43 years old... maybe we need to be patient for Tim Tszyu, Xander Zayas, Jaron Ennis, Bakhram Murtazaliev, Sebastian Fundora, Magomed Kurbanov and some of these guys will moved up it will be better for the category. Yes I also agree Light Heavyweight have nobody and when Bivol and Beterbiev will be in retirement, hard to say who is charismatic and skilled after that for to be the head of the category. Specially when Benavidez moved up, the category is almost dead.
His slickness was amusing / entertaining last fight. Kind of like when Fury is completely outclassing a guy and messing around, it can be a bit humorous.
Not really my thing, to be fair (unless it's insanely slick like Pernell Whitaker). But Hutchinson isn’t the fighter who’s going to save the light heavyweight division.
I like Whittaker after he stopped all the showboating and started working with Andy Lee. He used to dance around bums, but now he knocks them out with that KRONK style. But he still needs better fights, maybe someone like Craig Richards before stepping up to someone like Hutchinson.
