Boogieman: a fighter who is avoided by most, if not all, of the other top fighters in the division. The boogieman is highly avoided either because he's high risk / low reward, or simply because the other fighters don't fancy their chances against him *chicken sounds*. The boogieman is often unoficially regarded by fans as the best fighter and unsung king of the division, or at least one of the best talents that'll shine if he ever gets his lucky break
List of current Boogiemen per division (2022)
HW - it was Ortiz for a good while, but maybe Dillian Whyte is now ready to take the mantle
CW - ?
LHW - ? (maybe Bivol, as Beterbiev is clearly avoiding this guy like the plague)
SMW - Canelo cleaned this division, so no boogieman here. Btw props to ginger for beating not one, but two boogiemen in the past: Lara and GGG
MW - ? . Used to be GGG. It's probably Andrade now, as the other fighters seem hell bent on avoiding him
LMW - Sebastian Fundora
WW - Boots Ennis
LWW - Arnold Barboza
LW - Lomachenko. it's clear he's morphed from kingpin into boogieman of the division after losing to Teofimo. All beltholders are steering clear of him.
SFW - ?
FW - ?
SBW - ?
BW - Rigondeaux has been the traditional boogieman here for many years, i'm not sure if things might change after his loss to Casimero
Super Flyweight - Probably none atm, the top fighters routinely fight each other in this division, which is a rarity in boxing
Flyweight - ?
Light flyweight - ?
Minimumweight - ?
Am I leaving some boogiemen out of the list?
Name them so the list can be expanded
