Keep in mind I don't have a real deep knowledge of the lower weight divisions, and my list (as you can see by what makes 1st) isn't solely based on the quality of fighters at the weight, but also a lot on a mix of how many different fights can be made that excite me within the division. Mine would be something like 1 - Middleweight GGG - Unofficially the king of the division, it will be interesting to see how he continues to feast on the division or if one of the prime up and comers can give him a test Lemieux - A young contender who has dynamite in both fists. Will make for a fun exciting fight with any of the top 10 Ndam - Not to be underestimated Quillan Murray - How will he bounce back from the G beating, a fight with any of the other contenders will make for an intriguing fight. BJS Lee Curtis Stevens - A journeymen somewhat but still I like watching his fights and he matches up with some of the contenders in a fun way. Stevens vs a Lemiuex, Jacobs or Eubank Jr are still fun fights. Eubank Jr - still somewhat raw and has some improving to do but still he adds a bit of excitement to the division. Match him with any of the names listed and it would be a fight im looking forward to Jacobs - Just now slowly getting back into the mix at the top level, I don't expect much from him but I will be watching his fights and again, matched with anyone listed here makes for entertainment. Geale Cotto - meh Im not saying its the best division by any means, just a division I find entertaining and has many many fun matchups to be made that are also very makeable (unlike other divisions like say, welterweight, that has lots of good fighters but fights that I know wont get made that keep the division from being as fun as it should be, imo) That's 12 fighters there that I could match any which way and its a fight Id be looking forward to. 2 - Welterweight Going off of names alone this division should be number one. But unfortunately the success of this division is also its undoing for me, as I know some fights simply wont get made, which takes a lot away from the division for me. But the amount of quality fighters in it and of course Pac vs Mayweather, means its still my next favorite division. Mayweather Pac Khan Brook Thurman Guerrero Porter Bradley Maidana Rios Ruslan (sometimes) JMM Take a look at the names listed there again.... honestly the mix of quality fighters and flat out fun fighters on that list is exceptional. Its almost a mini golden age for the division, imo (is that maybe going too far? probably lol) but again, the fact that I know most of the great fights that could be made, wont be (Bradley wont be fighting the likes of Khan, Thurman, Porter, ect... JMM wont be fighting the likes of Ruslan, Maidana, Brook, ect, ect, ect) and its just the way it is, really spoils the division for me in what should be a clear case of number one. 3 - Jr Feather Rigo Framton LSC Quigg Not exactly a lot of fighters but its the quality here and the exciting high level matchups they will make that gets it here. Together these 4 are almost 90 and 0. Once these top dogs start turning on eachother (soon hopefully.... this division is past due for some sorting out at the top level) its going to be bombs away and someones 0 has to go. Cant wait. 4 - Feather Gonzo Walters Loma Donaire Mares Walters vs Loma? Loma vs Donaire? Loma vs Mares? Walters vs Mares.... these matchups are awesome and why it makes number 4. 5 - Jr Welter Matthysse D.Garcia Ruslan Broner Herrera Mainly because Matthysse is one of my favorite fighters to watch, Ruslan is an animal, Garcia is an established champion and Broner is fun to watch fight whether you like him or hate him. Honorable Mention : Heavyweight I should probably swap 140 out with heavyweight. Wlad Povetkin Fury Jennings Wilder Pulev Stiverne Perez Not exactly a quality division but theres some fun fights to make there. anyways, those are my top 5 division in order. Probably a pointless thread but I was going over in my head the divisions and figured id make a list, then figured Id post it
140, 147, 160, 175 and heavyweight.......................right now, featherweight is becoming interesting also......................but any time it could become every weight division...................
Cruiserweight has some talented fighters and is overlooked, even by me. I should pay more attention to it.:think
Welterweight Pac, May, Marquez, Brook, Khan, Porter, Thurman, Bradley Light Heavyweight Kovalev, Stevenson, Beterbiev Flyweight Gonzalez, Estrada, Viloria, Segura Light Welterweight Garcia, Matthysse, Broner, Crawford Heavyweight Klitschko, Povetkin, Thompson, Fury, Joshua Featherweight Donaire, Lomachenko, Walters, Mares
168: Ward, Froch, Abraham, Degale, Bika, Groves, Dirrell Bros, Smith Bros, Zudo Ramires, Stieglitz, Chudinov, Feigenbutz.
Middleweight is getting really interesting , 154 has potential too if it kicks off. The welterweight and the 168s are good too. Really wan to see groves direll degale direll
