    In boxing?

    Kovalev, Ward, Stevenson, Beterbiev, Smith Jr, Pascal, Alvarez, Gvozdyk, Chilemba, Mekhontsev, Barrera, Bivol, Browne, Fonfara, Cleverly..

    It's ridiculously rammed! Not only in terms of talent but in terms of POWER too! I don't think I have ever seen a division as stacked!

    It is indeed, though I don't think Mekhonstev will be a problem. To me he's been a big disappointment as a pro so far, seems to be stagnating.

    Nope 154 probably is, mekhonstev is also good at 175, and another top cuban amateur on the rise ramon luis probably will beat them all

    Maybe.

    Cruiser and 147 is pretty stacked too, e.g. Cruiser:

    Usyk, Gassiev, Lebedev, Bellew, Breidis, Dorticos, Huck, Glowacki, Makabu, Mchunu, Cunningham, Shumenov, Vlasov, Kudryashov.

    147:

    Pacquaio, Thurman, Garcia, Porter, Brook, Khan, Bradley, Spence Jr, Vargas, Horn, Avanesyan, Eggington, Ponomarev, Berto, Algieri

    154? Really?

    147 is good though. Kavaliauskas, go check him out for a prospect.

    175 is packed with sharks. I'd say so.

    Yeah, he isn't that good, just has a hard chin.

    But the first 10 names or so are pretty solid.

    And that's not counting prospects like McCumby, Elbiali & Salamov.

    For me its 130.
    Lomachenko
    Sosa
    Salido
    Vargas
    Berchelt
    Gamboa(if he ever gets a fight)
    Corrales
    Uchiyama
    Fortuna
    Pedraza
    Miura
    Farmer
    Davis

    And the great thing about the division is that the best are all fighting each other.
    We've just had Loma-Walters, and in the next month or so we're going to have
    Miura-Roman
    Corrales-Uchiyama 2
    Davis-Pedraza
    Vargas-Berchelt

    I'd say it is, followed by SFW.

    Ward v Kovalev, Stevenson v Smith Jr, winners unify. That would be a great 2017.
