Lookin at the ESB World rankings for each division doesn't make for great viewing.Few years back divisions like light-welter,lightweight and some of the lighter weight divisions were red hot.Even Middle and Cruiserweight looked pretty good.There is'nt a really talent loaded division among them in my opinion.
I think the talent is always out there. But it's not always publicized. But I like Light Welter, Welter and Super Middle as the strongest, based off of what I know of them. There's no telling what's going on that has never been in front of me talked about anywhere because they really under-do the lowest weight guys where the champs are often from Japan, Indonesia, etc. I can't be on a wild goose chase for everything nobody talks about in America because there's no market for it.
Some truely awful boxers with high ranking-Marco Huick 2nd at Cruiserweight,Jaun Urango 3rd at Light-Welter.Shows you how far you can go with bita power and a chin- even with very average ability.
I've been a fan of 168 for a long time now. Lots of interesting fights there in the past and lots of action right now and coming up. The US was sleeping on this division for so long, perhaps due to the division being dominated by euros by and large, but it has been very good for a long time.
This may be a bit out there but id abolish 168.It's allowed alot of fighters to desert the middleweight division prematurely.Im sure Hopkins musta been tempted to jump up but he was still makin weight at 40.
Nuff said. I'm loving 168 at the moment, especially now the Super 6 tournament is forcing the best of them to square off against each other :happy:happy:happy
Yeah. Perhaps abolish cruiserweight, light middleweight and all those other pesky in between divsions too. atsch
Just 168-kills the middlweight division.Would also make light-heavy more interestin as its usually bereft of talent like when jones was fightin in it.
