Best division in boxing right now

[Light_Speed]

What's the best division in boxing right now?

[artfuL_]

122, 160 and 168.

122 is having an influx of fighters move up from 118.

160 and 168 still have interesting match-ups to make. Regardless of whether Ward has cleaned up 168 there are still good enough contenders to fight each other.

[KO'er]

Welterweight IMO. Pacman, Money, Ortiz, etc. All the best fighters are around 147lbs ATM IMO.

People like Maidana, Bradley, moving up to the weight. People like Broner who'll be there soon enough.

[J-Smooth]

for me it's between 122 & 140

definitely 122 pounds. Donaire, Nishioka, Rigo, Mares, Moreno (hopefully he'll stay after his fight wih Mares). Then you got the second tier of guys like Vazquez Jr, Marquez, Mathebula, Arce, Kiko Martinez, Carl Frampton, Scott Quigg, Munroe. . . Terrazas. .

AND NOW you got Darchinyan too?!

Rico Ramos. .. Mijares. . Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym. .

Jesus. . . So ****ing deep. .

Moreno will stay at 122 I imagine.

Especially if he wins.

After that, for me it's 160 pounds.

Martinez, Chavez Jr., Golovkin, Pirog, Hassan H'Dam N'Jikam, Geale, Sturm, Quillin. . Then guys like Barker, Proksa, Lee, Macklin who I still think are very solid boxers. . . ANd I tink Danny Jacobs can stil lcome back strong (if cancer didn't take too much out of him). . ALSO, a guy to look out for is AVTANDIL KHURTSIDZE. . IF he got a good promotor, he could beat some of the above listed guys.


Third place for me is: Cruiserweight (THE MOST underrated, and underappreciated weight class ever.): Hernandez, Lebedev, Tarver, Huck, Wlod., Ofalabi, Masternak, Alekseev, Kucher, Guillermo Jones, Chakhiev, Pawel Kolodziej. . Troy Ross is solid. .

Eddie Chambers also comign down to cruiserweight. .



Honorable Mention is 140: Rios, Alvarado, Khan, Garcia, Peterson (presuming he doesn't stay at 147), provodnikov, Matthyssee.

I think so too. . I'm really not sure who wins that fight. . Slightly leaning towards Mares due to his work rate, but Moreno might be the slickest boxer not named FLoyd right now.


I mean it's ridiculus the world class talent, and potential world class talent at 122: Mares, Moreno, Donaire, and Rigo are all right now top 10 pound for pound worthy, or definitely very soon to be.

[bojangles1987]

Nishioka
Donaire
Mares
Moreno
Rigo
Santa Cruz

That's just the very top of 122 in most people's opinion. Easily my pick.

I'm definitely leaning on Moreno. But, no doubt it'll be a tough fight for both men.

It's probably the toughest fight of both of their career's so far.

A career defining fight, for both.
