      1. Andre Ward
      2. Carl Froch
      3. George Groves
      4. Arthur Abraham
      5. Mikkel Kessler
      6. Anthony Dirrell
      7. Robert Stieglitz
      8. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
      9. James DeGale
      10. Andre Dirrell

      That is the Division

      The Top 5, consists of one guy that never fights, one guy that got 1 money making fight left in him, A guy that suffered a devastating KO and may never be the same again, a very ordinary abc fighter, and a guy that is completely shot and is retiring.

      You also got a fat pot smoker, and a guy that fakes brain injuries to duck fights in there

        IMO it is one of the weakest "high profile" divisions right now. HW, LHW, MW is about equal, WW 10 x better, JRWW much better, FW and JFW are all much better

          Light-Heavy, I disagree, some real quality with Stevenson and Kovalev and you good guys like Beterbiev blasting through the ranks.

          Some exciting times in the division.

          Super Middle is dying. Ward not fighting, Froch going to retire, no is stepping up to the plate.
          So two very good fighters and one prospect? I'm not seeing it personally.

            I prefer Flyweight

              There more to it than that, some good solid fighters. Very few division are filled with top class fighters through out the top 10.

                Yeah, Gonzalez is very highly rate, but I don't ten to watch many fights lower than bantamweight, unless they are super fights. It doesn't seem to get the exposure the talent deserves.

                Maybe Gonzalez will get it that.

                  If he didn't go bat **** crazy and get arrested, Jermain Taylor would be a champion in that division right now.
                  Taylor was only a title holder because he had connects to the all powerful AL Haymon and because Soliman injured his self in the during the fight.

                  Not too long along Sakio Bika was a champion at Super Middleweight and he's just as bad as Taylor.

                    Andre Ward (overrated), Froch (love him but not really that talented), Bika (LOL), Kessler decent.

                    What's so great about this division I don't get the hype.

                    Bum arse Ward needs to move out of this crappy division seeing as he cleaned it out.
                    Froch is getting old and Kessler is retired, and Ward hasn't fought since 2013. Abraham was good at 160 but has seemed ordinary at 168, lacking height and reach. Andre Dirrell hasn't fought much in the past several of years. Robert Stieglitz was decent but is past his best now.

                    It's not a strong division, although as in every division, there are a few decent young fighters like James DeGale and Anthony Dirrell.

                      You haven't really helped your argument there. He beat Sam Soliman for the title. One of the worst title fights in history.
