    Egor Mekhontsev

    Cory Cummings

    Andrzej Fonfara

    Sergey Kovalev

    Jean Pascal

    Vyacheslav Shabranskyy

    Oleksandr Gvozdyk

    Adonis Stevenson

    Eleider Alvarez

    Vasily Lepikhin

    Juergen Braehmer

    Medzhid Bektemirov

    Erik Skoglund

    Isaac Chilemba

    Umar Salamov     (age 20)

    and of course ATG Bernard Hopkins


    Then there's a not-so-bad supporting cast:

    Nadjib Mohammedi, Igor Mikhalkin, Lucian Bute, Gabriel Campillo, Maxim Vlasov, Cedric Agnew, Doudou Ngumbu, Beibut Shumenov, Dmitry Sukhotsky, Karo Murat, Chad Dawson, Tommy Karpency


    And perhaps some of these will eventually move up:

    Carl Froch, Andre Ward, James DeGale, Mikkel Kessler, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, Anthony Dirrell, Sakio Bika, Fedor Chudinov, Thomas Oosthuizen

    I think they need to make the Super Middle division up to 170lbs and the Light Heavy division up to 180lbs.

    I thought we already established, unless a division is full of Muricans. IT SUCKS!

    its the running theme in boxing, Heavyweight became weak about 10 years ago and still is, Cruiserweight has been 'weak' since Holyfield left it

    middleweight is now 'weak' since america have no one in it

    Also wait until Joe Ward turns pro the divison will be the strongest in boxing he really could be in amazing fights with the likes of Kovalev and Beterbiev ect, 20 years old European gold medalist, World Bronze and robbed of a place in the olympics, to give you an idea he destroyed the former olympic silver medalist and 10 time irish amateur champion Kenny Egan at 18 years old. Trust me he's a special fighter and another for the future of what will be the best division in boxing.

    Heavyweight is weak because skills have digressed and the best more often than not dont fight the best. Middlweight is decent right now and improving. Lightheavyweight is looking good. If the best matches can be made with a little consistency it could very well turn out to be an excellent era. Its not about nationality or race to me.
