    My favourite division alongside light heavy just below it currently. Lots of quick, skillful, explosive and powerful fighters compared to heavyweight in my humble opinion.

    I've actually never watched Okolie outside of highlights, but even those were enough for me not to ever want to watch him fight a whole match.

    Ruslan Fayfer's another godawful fighter to watch. Both of them drag the CWs down from awesome to just below awesome. Even though I thought Fayfer beat Tabiti on the cards I was glad that Tabiti got the decision because of how badly Fayer stunk the joint out. Then Tabiti went on to stink the joint out against Authentic Dorticos and I rejoiced when he got KOed. Hopefully Authentic Dorticos doesn't then go onto stink the joint out against Briedis, but I highly doubt it. :sisi1

    I thought the Roy Jones fight wasn't bad to watch either. Jones still had a little something left and managed to rock Lebedev quite badly with a lot of his shots before succumbing to the inevitable.

    Very good list. I think very highly of Gevor. I get that Briedis wasn't 100% but I still think Grevor deserves more credit for that fight then what he got. Hopefully he gets another opportunity soon.

    I like that gassiev and usyk moved up .

    I really hope to see one of them get soon at heavy.

    Still one of my favourite divisions right now. Along with 175 (obvs) and 140.

    Both are hard punchers for sure, but I don't think they have quite the same crushing power as either of those two. Kuds and Sellers just seemed to have that freak ability to drop you no matter who you were. They didn't have the best delivery mechanism or the best whiskers, but if they landed you were going to sleep.

    To me nothing demonstrates Sellers's punching power more than his fight with Carl Thompson. Thompson was one of the toughest MFers to ever lace them up at CW and even way past his prime still managed to soak everything up that a young Haye could throw at him, but every time Sellers landed he'd drop to the canvas like he'd been hit by a bat. And Sellers didn't even look like he was putting anything into the shots.

    The last KD is horrific.
