I believe the 'junior' and 'super' divisions are sanctioning body inventions to generate more fees rather than a safety measure.
160lbs is a wasteland with three inactive belt holders avoiding each other and Eubank jr. who is fighting a rematch with a welterweight.
168lbs has Canelo, Mbilli and Sheeraz.
175lbs has Bivol, Beterbiev and Benavidez. I'm not counting Callum Smith since he took the lame decision to sit on his WBOgus 'interim' and wait for an email belt.
Get rid of 168lbs (and ideally at least one of the sanctioning bodies) and these guys are forced up or down into more competitive divisions.
If you think I'm wrong, please explain why.
