    In your opinion. I think most would agree jr middle is at least up there, are there any others that deserve a mention?

    Heavyweight hands down, not only are they the best, but the division is opening up with the king in Usyk looking to retire and a bunch of younger guys coming through hoping to make their names.

    Think I gotta respectfully disagree with 130. Has a solid list of contenders and regional fighters I’m aware of. Nunez is an exciting watch, but arguably the best in the division is Shock who is coming off a string of 3 flat performances. You got Roach, whose sole title defense was against a dude who was just fighting in 6 rounders. Navarette is Navarette lol. Point is I think the champs in the division are pretty lacking overall. Maybe there’s something I’m missing tho

    140 has the most talent that can compete there. I include fighters at 135 who could or would fight at 140.
