The weakest division right now????????

  1. I have to go with the junior middleweight division. They need to just scrap that division all together.

    Minimum is always pretty weak. And has been through out history.

    Heavyweight is lacking at the moment, though it's not as bad as people make out.

    Light-middle is a bit lacking, but there's still the likes of Forrest, Santos, a past his prime De La Hoya.

    Bantamweight is pretty poor, Mabuza should really clean up, though Mares is a very good prospect.

    130 has a good claim right now.
    Hopefully Linares and Gamboa move up pretty soon, add Guerrero to that and it should recover somewhat

    Disagree, Junior Middleweight is improving. Few prospects like Angulo, Kirkland plus guys like Julio, Forrest, Santos, Dzindziruk. Mosley is fighting there this weekend as well.
    As a Brit the domestic scene at the weight is strong as well with guys like Moore, Rhodes, Price and Small.

    I think superfeather is fast becoming a weak division with all the big stars moving north to lightweight.

    Linares has moved up, and with Valero and Soto staying at 130 the division is saved. Without those 3 guys though it lacks talent, Juarez would probably be the best of the rest.

    They should only keep these... starting with Lightweight :

    -Lightweight (135)
    -Welterweight (147)
    -Middleweight (160)
    -Lightheavyweight (175)
    -Heavyweight (+200)

    We would have incredible fights if that was the case...

    IT'S cruiserweight and it's not even close. hw isn't even close to as bad as many claim. it's in the middle of the pack. wlad is a dominant champ. people just don't like his style. then we may be getting another one, Vitali, back in the mix. then, u have a group of solid fighters like Peter, Povetkin, Chagaev, Valuev, Thompson, Chambers, Sultan. The winner of virchis and JCG will be in the group too. Add in top prospects like Haye, Solis, Dimitrenko, Arreola and hw shits on the cw divison.

    Look at the cw top 15 :D Personally, i think Adamek is the best of the bunch.

    1. Steve Cunningham
    2. Firat Arslan
    3. Jean Marc Mormeck
    4. Tomasz Adamek
    5. O'Neil Bell
    6. Wayne Braithwaite
    7. Krzystof Wlodarczyk
    8. Enzo Maccarinelli
    9. Herbie Hide :rofl :rofl
    10. Marco Huck
    11. Rudolf Kraj
    12. Vadim Tokarev
    13. BJ Flores
    14. Grigory Drozd
    15. Alexander Alekseev
    16. Jonathon Banks

    154 is also terrible.
