    In higher divisions fighters are worse and much less skilled

    It is obvious now.

    Barrios got knocked out by a lightweight, he moves up ( loses to Thurman) and now is he somehow top 10 contender at 147 after beating Ugas.

    Smith jr. and Ramirez both lose to Bivol, Smith jr. also gets knocked out cold by Beterbiev. They move up and they are both top 10 contenders already.

    Briedis at cruiserweight did it better against Usyk than Joshua did in two fights.

    Don`t buy this crap about being more comfortable at higher weight. If this was true Spence would be at 160 already.

    After one guy loses at lower weight , he moves up, knowing guys at higher division are just more basic, slower, easier to hit.

    It's also a product of the silly sanctioning body rankings. Current/former beltholders get priority in the rankings when moving up.

      So bigger people with a higher center of gravity are less coordinated, never would’ve guessed…
