    Joshua or Golovkin i think. Probably lean Golovkin because him being champion seems to be holding up more fights

    Thurman was the name that sprang to mind for me.

    that was another one, but seeing as he has had the WBC stripped, i think its more open now than the two divisions i mentioned

    What about fighters not holding multiple belts? Would Adonis retiring help the LHW division?

    @ MW 3G for me too.
    Potential for Andrade, Charlo, Deveryanchenko, Jacobs & Saunders. 4 of these guys are undefeated, yet no one has established dominance. And with Jacobs learning through his losses, this is anyone's division without GGG.

    @ LW, Without Lomachenko, Garcia wouldn't be the man, yet- I personally favor Garcia over Loma, but Chenko has the lights & odds makers on his side.
    Linares can still make noise. Undefeated Easter name's get a bit more recognition & Haven't seen Lewis Ritson. All these fighters would have betting odds against them vs Loma. Without him their chances improve.

    i think so but think Ward retiring did free up a lot of the belts, which has freed up a few more fighters to come to the forefront and they seem to be heading towards making Kovalev/Bivol. a similar effect that Crawford moving up has had on a now revitalised 140

    Uysk Gassiev winner will have a bit of a stranglehold on cruiserweight but will almost definitely have both move up anyway.
