    What is currently the weakest division in boxing?

    What division do you think is the weakest at the moment?

    For me it is lightweight it has one of the weakest champions in the sport in mickey bey. And a new lineage was started by beating Ray Beltran (a good tough guy but not great). Even with Crawford I think it was the weakest.

    Yeah, lightweight has been the weakest for a few years now.

      I think Lightweight too. Aside from the recent emergence of Terence Crawford, I don't think there's been much.

      Who were the last good fighters lightweight had? Marquez, Baby Bull Diaz, and Nate Campbell?

        I concur when I read the title I immediately thought lightweight, outside of Crawford I don't recall the last lightweight getting much mention at all.

          I want to say Cruiserweight? Seriously, has anybody really given a shit about that division since Evander Holyfield?

          I know David Haye, Adamek, and USS Cunningham made a little noise there, but it seems like nobody ever talks about that wasteland division nowadays.

            I know no one cares about it but I think Cruiserweight is one of the strongest divisions

              I'm sure its a more popular weight class outside the USA.

                DeadLikeMe is right; nobody fights at 168; when has Andre defended?


                168 might be alive due to handicaps (Chad)


                "Moving up after Super Six doe"


                Why not? Kovalev Sparks him

                    Ward don't want it with DeGale.

                    It would be a fantastic fight. Unification title fight at 168 between two gold medalists. USA vs UK, that is a marketable fight especially after DeGale wins his title on PBC.
