Seeing who people are listing as best in most of these divisions just confirms what I was thinking when I saw the title; there are a lot of divisions where no one deserves to be called the best.

For me, at CW it's Glowacki or Usyk, Leb is getting on a bit and reaching the end of his career.

There is noway Cotto is the best at LMW, he hasn't fought there in years lol I think it's pretty open between Demetrius and the Charlos.

WW...how the hell is it not Pacquiao? At the very least have Bradley above Brook and the likes of Porter and Khan above Thurman. Come on man.

I'd stick TC as the best at 140.

Crolla and Linares both rank above Flanagan for me.

SFW is a pretty open field, with Uchiyama's inactivity, the possible addition of Walters and ofc Vargas and Fortuna being good challengers for the top spot.

FW is LSC, he has the best single win at the moment, whereas Selby is the best in terms of combination of skill and strength. Loma is probably 3rd.

If we're stretching it to SBW, then the winner of Quigg and Frampton should have that honour as Rigo hasn't done enough since beating Donaire.
