In other words use your imagination here. A world where the best fight the best during their primes. No promoters, no corrupt franchise titles, just the best fighting the best with one true king, one champion per division. Who is the champion in the weight class listed below? Which guys right now can face everyone in their weight class and clean house? Lightweight Super lightweight. Welterweight Super welterweight MW SMW LHW HW Try to keep it friendly...
LW = Lomachenko LWW = Josh Taylor Ironically those two are happening as we speak. WW = Terence Crawford LMW = no one. MW = Billy Joe Saunders SMW = no one LHW = Artur Beterbiev HW = Tyson Fury. There's no one at 154 or 168 who will clean house. Crawford and Saunders I'm going with a gut feeling.
loma, mikey, spence, canelo, and usyk are the only ones i think could own a division vs all comers, all the time.
Lightweight: Lomachenko Super lightweight: Taylor Welterweight: Spence Super welterweight: (Empty) MW: (Empty) SMW: (Empty) LHW: Beterbiev HW: Fury I have JMW, MW and SMW empty as I don't believe there's a titlist that could clean house and reign with an iron fist. I used to believe Callum at SMW could, I sincerely question that now. JMW is currently a free for all. I'd have picked Saunders at MW but he's up and down to the opponent. Andrade also is up and down as well but Saunders downshift is lower than Andrade's IMO, and I think either could lose to the other on any given night.
Lightweight > Lomachenko Light Welterweight > Taylor Welterweight > Spence Light Middleweight > Castano Middleweight > Golovkin Super Middleweight > Benavidez Light Heavyweight > Beterbiev Heavyweight > Joshua
