      Honestly I think I cannot name one cruiserweight at the moment ahah.

      All of these divisions are really weak at the moment. The heavyweight post 2000 has been complete crap beside Lewis and the K bros.

          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.
          how the hell did you list those divisions and not even mention cruiser, be real man.

            lightweight hasn't been as loaded as were used to but IMO middleweight is the most talent depleted division in boxing today....After Cotto who is undersized and GGG, the fighters are wholly average


            105-130 is loaded with talent

            135 is ok

            140-154 is loaded

            160 is marginal

            168-heavyweight is loaded


            heavyweight is deeper than Middleweight which is quite rare

              Middleweight is pretty bad. Lightweight is worse though, especially since Crawford is moving up.

              Who's left there now? Bey, Abril, and Miguel Vasquez? Yuck.

                All good cruiserweights have an incentive to move into heavy

                  A lot of these guys are naming divisions with popular fighters that they want to discredit but the truly weakest class in boxing right now is Jr. Lightweight. There's not one fighter there that I would consider world class. The best two fighters in the division fight like once a decade and even then that aren't all that.

                  Middleweight is a very good division filled with good fighters, just so happen GGG is a great fighter and he makes them all look like 3rd rate fighters.

                    Agreed. While MW is certainly not the deepest division, it's not as bad as some people make it out to be.
