When you put up all the good fighters in each weight the way you did I can see there are lots of good fighters and good match ups in all of the weight classes you listed. Canelo, Cotto, Vanes, Trout, Mayweather, and Martinez are all good fighters and I like watching all of them. So in a close race I pick 154 and hope the best will fight the best soon. The Cotto-Trout and Vanes-Lara fights are a very good start. I'm not sure who is the best 154 pound fighter in the world and I'd like to find out. I know Mayweather is better than Cotto but Cotto is still a tough fight for any 154 pounder.
The level of boxing in brazil is really really weak. Its not like Argentina and places like that.
This is from a friend of mine that was an exchange student from brazil. Hes a massive boxing fan
"I live in brazil and even in here, it´s impossible to find anything about William Fernando Souza Bezerra. There is a very strong theory that his record is false, because it´s impossible a guy with that record here in brazil stay unknown, we are always looking for a boxing talent and this guys appears beating a bunch of another unknowns guys with decent records.Another strange thing is that his manager is Mike Miranda, a guy with a padded record who got a chance to world title withou fight anybody of note and then quit in less than a minute of fight.His fight against Laudelino Barros is not confirmed,btw, i hope it happens because would answer alot of questions because Laudelino is a very capable fighter".
My favourite is probably the cruiserweight division. Brimming with talent, get some great fights usually overshadowed, and some seriously good up & coming prospects.
Rakhim Chakhkiev
Marco Huck
Antonio Tarver
Dennis Lebedev
Santander Silgado
Tony Conquest (Up-coming British prospect)
Lateef Kayode
Masternak
Yunier Dorticos (young Cuban prospect, great amateur pedigree, 100% K.O ratio, definitely one too watch out for)
Yoan Pablo Hernandez
Ola Afolabi
Wlodarczyk
Aleksandr Alekseev
Dmytro Kucher
Guillermo Jones
William Fernando Souza Bezerra (Unknown Brazilian prospect, 32-0 31 K.Os, seemingly had a great amateur career)
140 def has the most bangers, I still feel there can be some really good fights made with Kirkland. Kirkland v Cotto, Kirkland v Mayweather, Kirkland v Canelo. I know hes a midget for his division but he could still make some good fights at 160, even if his chin is a little shakey
the 5 most exciting fights that can be made in these divisions 2 me are Leo Santa Cruz vs Abner Mares, Brandon Rios vs Mike Alvarado, Danny Garcia vs. Lucas Matthysse, Miguel Cotto vs. Saul Alvarez, Gennady Golovkin vs. Sergio Martinez.
really good thread dude. For me it is light welterweight and middleweight. If u look @ the fighters in the light welterweight division they are action packed fighters like Brandon Rios, Mike Alvarado, Lucas Matthysse and Danny Garcia can make some great great fights. Middleweight is very interesting as well bc there are so many quality fighters and no real true king of the division. Sergio Martinez is def the undisputed champ but i can see one of the young guns upsetting him on one night bc he is almost 38 and has been facing injuries. All these divisions are really solid though and can make amazing fights.
