    Heavyweight division now most packed division?

    Before you get your knee jerk reaction in please try think of one division with as many interesting match ups possible.

    Aside from taking Jr Middleweight all the way up to LHW I don't think there's one single division around with as many names as the HW division. You would have to merge numerous divisions to get as many names as there are in the HW division right now. There are now prospects and just names who can be used to make interesting match ups.

    Wlad
    Haye
    Tyson Fury
    Anthony Joshua
    Glazkov
    Charles Martin
    Pulev
    Edmund Gerber
    Joseph Parker
    Povetkin
    Chisora
    Oleksandr Usyk
    Bogdan Dinu
    Szpilka
    Ruslan
    Deontay Wilder
    Didier Bence
    Adamek
    Cunningham
    Mike Perez
    Scot
    Helenius
    Zhang
    Bryant Jennings
    Hughie Fury
    Boystov
    Arreola
    Wach

    In terms of interesting match ups I think the HW division is running away with it right now.

    Bunch of overweight and out of shape bums. Somehow Wilder changed of that.

      I don't know about Stacked

      You have the champ, Wlad

      Then you have a future ATG Wilder

      and then it's a huge drop off.

      Either Wlad retires or gets ko'd by wilder, then Wilder is going to take over and rule for like 10 years.

      I don't see anyone on the horizon who can handle what Deontay is bringing to the table

        Fury and Jennings are more experienced than Wilder.

        Joshua and Parker are the two hottest prospects. Parker beat Botha in one of his first fights. It takes a lot to beat a former champ so easily.

          Most packed division is Welterweight. Think of the quality of opponents and the possibility. Can you imagine a "Super Six" in WW vs "Super Six" in HW?
          Not even close.

            Flyweight is stacked. Everyone is moving on up....shoot, like 80 percent of the top 20 fighters have either won or have won a title

              You named quite a few bums & average prospects... Bence? Gerber? Zhang? Boytsov? Cunningham? Come on...

                  You can cross Cunningham off the list, after he gets knocked out by Amir "hardcore" Mansour

                    Fury and Jennings do not possess atomic power in either fist. Once hit and it doesn't even have to land flush, they will get crushed.

                    Joshua is muscle bound and stiff - Price V1.1, he gets swept aside with ease.

                    How can you take anyone serious after they done fighting Santa Claus?
