    Kameda? Daiki and Koki are at flyweight, and Tomoki, while he is a good talent, is at bantamweight and has only had 12 fights.

    But if this was a dig at PR fighters, carry on.

          Aoh is now at super featherweight and Dunne hasn't fought since the Poon fight, and I have not heard anything about a move up in weight.

          Plus, Vazquez and Marquez are near the very end of their careers

            Good set of names, but Vazquez and Marquez probably won't fight anyone, but each other and then be out for a years time.

            Aoh I think won't be heard from much again. Honorio is probably going to rematch John Molina at 135, so he won't stick around at FW. Tired of seeing Juarez and he's not that good.

            Caballero could jump though, which would be another good name. The division is better off then it was a couple years ago, but it's not one of the best.

            Cruz sucks btw.

              His brothers have a Mexican trainer, the same one a Alvarez, I believe. In fact, Alvarez walked to the ring with Daiki for his fight with Kaovichit.

              On topic, 118 is the most underrated division in boxing, and my favorite. I have no problem with it being called the best.
              Oh, I see. I've always wondered that, Thanks for clarifying it.

                No problem.

                He's still with that trainer though, my bad for the typo. I think his name is Ruben Lira...?

                      Ch@mp, do you at least think that 118 is comparable to other divisions you listed?
