    Forrest is the best at that weight and he is the old guard
    There are so many talented, exciting up & comers in that division. Who cares about forrest? He's almost done. LMW can possibly be the next great division, imo.

      The Heavyweight division is a joke but other than that it's all pretty good.

      Some era's are stronger than others and some have more personalities than others. Ups and down like anything else...

          i cant help but think Pavlik and Taylor would be complete nobodys in a good era yet both have been and Pavlik still is undisputed champ

          Paul Williams is another very ordinary fighter imo aswell i dont get the hype around him at all TBH

          the HW div is garbage

          the CW div is garbage

          the LMW div is garbage

          Kessler is a good solid SMW but thats all he is imo their is nothing exceptional about him and he is probably the best the div has to offer

          and all the superstars are old and finishing out their final few years

          most of you will probably disgree but these are my personal thoughts what do you say
          I think your scared of change, boxing may not be the same for you because the sport is not as it was when you first started watching it. All the guys you learned to like are on their way out, and I guess you never learned to like the newer guys. I dont think boxing is weak in the sense of it lacking good fighters, I just think it's weak in terms of matchups that are being made.

                Yea.

                Boxing must feel really exciting to a newbie fan like yourself.

                After all. Because your boxrec referring ass have clearly not followed boxing through any previous generation. You wouldn't know any better.

                  there is deffo a bit of that about it the fighters i relate to are on their way out and the ones that are coming up are not established

                  i cant see a proven superstar at the moment,PBF is retired and the rest of the superstars are old and from a past era
