    Too slow and not as skilled.

    Potentially welterweight, light heavyweight in actuality

    WW for sure, and they're starting to fight each other too so that is a good thing.
    HW is probably second best, lots of interesting matchups there too.

    Going by top 10: WW then LHW.

    If you go by top 5, I'd say WW then MW.

    Luis Ortiz would end up on the seat of his pants v Whyte.

    Ortiz would box hyte`s ears off, he`s a far better fighter and a southpaw, Whyte is pretty basic.

    Don't agree Ortiz would be out of gas in about 8 rounds v Whyte.

    Welterweight probably has the most pound-for-pounders - Crawford, Spence, Manny.

    But I like superfly. The top five are all monsters - Estrada, Rungvisai, Ioka, Ancajas, Roman Gonzalez, holy ****, any two of them would make for a worldy. It does drop off a bit after that but Israel Gonzalez is interesting and Francisco Rodriguez Jnr. is in so many good fights, he almost guarantees a good fight.

    Previously CW was prior to Usyk, Gassiev, Hunter moving up and Lebedev and Bellew retiring. With the likes Briedis, Dorticos, Glowacki, Mukabu and Perez.

    Now its LHW with Bivol, Beterbiev, Kovalev, Gvozdyk, Ramirez, Alvarez, Pascal, Browne, Jack, Smith JR, Vlasov, Barrera, C.Johnson Yarde and Buasti all battling for the spots.

    Love me some Superfly.

    Welter has a lot of name power, but is on a downhill trend quality wise. With Bud essentially isolated, the question marks around how Spence will rebound, and Manny down to his last couple fights, I'm not as excited for it as I should be. Thurman is again nowhere to be seen.

    Light heavy is great. Cruiserweight before the post-WBSS would've had my vote as the best.

    Lightweight is on a big uptrend with the young talent coming up there. Let's just get the fights made.
