    Top 3 favourite active fighters by weight? Should be pretty self-explanatory.

    HW - Usyk, Whyte & Hunter
    It's a split between Rivas, Hunter and Allen for 3rd, I'ma go with Hunter though. Not much interest in the HWs for me tbh.
    CW - Glowacki, Makabu & Dorticos
    I like Briedis and Gassiev, but given that Gassiev hasn't fought in like nearly 2 years and Briedis just elbowed my #1, I left them both off.
    LHW - Johnson, Kovalev & Buatsi
    HMs to Pascal and Smith Jr
    SMW - Billy Joe, John Ryder & Lemieux
    MW - GGG, Derevyanchenko, Cash
    JMW - Brook, Fitzgerald & Smith
    WW - Benn, Pacquiao, Crawford
    JWW - Taylor, Prograis & Ergashev
    LW - Campbell, Crolla & Loma
    SFW -     pass, other than Archie Sharp, ion like anyone here:lol:
    FW - same again
    SBW - yet again
    BW - Burnett*, Inoue & Donaire
    *I'm aware he's retired but c'mon it wasn't that long ago.
    SFly - SSR, González & Yaegashi
    Fly - Martinez & that's it.
    Lfly - Pass, ion know these guys.

    Great minds think alike, I was thinking about doing a thread just like this a day ago. But only a single solitary favorite. I'll have mine up later tonight.

    I've noticed our LHW lists are pretty similar, especially when I'd put Gvozdyk around where I'd put Smith right now.
