    If their were still only 8 Weight Divisions in Boxing

    If Present day Boxing still only consisted of 8 Weight Divisions and 1 champion at each weight then who would they be? And which high level fighters do you think would struggle to compete due to the limited weight classes. Here's my thoughts

    Heavyweight: Wladimir Klitschko
    Light Heavyweight: Andre Ward
    Middleweight: Saul Alvarez
    Welterweight: Floyd Mayweather
    Lightweight: Adrien Broner
    Featherweight: Guillermo Rigondeaux
    Bantamweight: Anselmo Moreno
    Flyweight: Juan Francisco Estrada

    Boxers who would struggle: Amir Khan

              Good list but i'd have Murray at MW (He beat Martinez) and JMM at LW he can still make that weight IMO.

                  If JMM could make lightweight he would be champ definitely i just think hes a little too old now to be cutting the weight

                                  Martinez still at middle. Can't go with a dude who's fighting the Ishidas of the world. As much as I like him the list would look like the p4p list.
                                  Floyd, Wlad, Sergio, Rigo, Ward, JMM (possibly, but I think Pac would have stayed an dominated at LW) and the rest as mentioned.

                                  They'd probably be more dominant... Guys like Floyd and martinez wouldnt always be the smaller guy, etc.

                                      In a year or two Sergey Kovalev will be LHW #1.

                                      That man is the truth.
