Who do you consider to be THE MAN in each divison?

I agree with most of your picks. I don't agree that Fury would be the man if comes back. He would have to come back and beat AJ to be the man again and I think AJ would beat him. AJ is a dedicated full time champion boxer and loves what he is doing. Fury no longer has his heart in boxing and that makes a big difference. I think Mikey is the man at 135 until someone can prove he isn't. I favor him to beat the other 135 pound champions. I think Benavidez is the man at 168 and would defeat all other 168 pound boxers. Santa Cruz just beat Frampton convincingly in my opinion so Santa Cruz is the man at 126 to me. I thought Frampton won the first fight but that was then and this is now.HW: now its AJ but he'll lose the spot to Fury if he comes back
CW: nobody yet but that's about to change
LHW: Ward
SMW: see CW
MW: Golovkin
JMW: nobody until Lara and Andrade fight
WW: Spence
SLW: Crawford
LW: Nobody
SFW: Lomachenko
FW: beetwen Santa Cruz and Frampton
SBW: Rigondeaux
The lower divisons I don't really follow.

Good list. Here's mineHW-Joshua
200-Usyk, for now
175-Ward
168-Vacant
160-Golovkin
154-Vacant
147-Thurman
140-Crawford
135-Garcia has only had 1 fight at the weight, so I can't go with him. I'll say vacant, but it goes to Linares if he beats Campbell
130-Lomachenko
126-Santa Cruz
122-Rigondeaux
118-Yamanaka
115-Rungvisai, for now
112-Vacant, maybe Ioka
108-Vacant
105-Vacant
HW-Vacant (Fury/Joshua)
200-Vacant (Usyk/Gassiev)
175-Ward
168-Vacant
160-Golovkin
154-Vacant (Lara/Andrade)
147-Vacant (Thurman/Spence)
140-Crawford
135-Vacant (Garcia/Linares)
130-Lomachenko
126-Vacant (Santa Cruz/Russell)
122-Rigondeaux
118-Yamanaka
115-Rungvisai - honorable mention to Inoue
112-Vacant (Ioka/Nietes)
108-Vacant (Guevara/Taguchi)
105-Vacant (Niyomtrong/Menayothin)Comment

112-Chocolatito
118- Rigo
126-Lomo
135- Crawford/Garcia
147-Spence/Thurman
160-Golovkin
175-Ward
Open-Joshua/Wilder
I don't believe in using the "junior" or "super" weight classes
in championship bouts. Those classes are for preliminary bouts.

HW- Either Fury or Joshua
CW- Usyk
LHW- Wide open. Any of the four belt holders could end up being #1.
SMW- Callum Smith
MW- Canelo
JMW- Hurd or Charlo
WW- Probably either Crawford or Spence but Thurman has the best resume still.
JWW- Prograis, Taylor, Ramirez are all up there.
LW- Garcia is moving up again so its clearly Lomachenko.
JLW- Berchelt/Davis/Machado.
FW- Santa Cruz. Russell could be but he's so inactive. Hopefully they fight next year.
SBW- 4 belt holders but Dogboe looks to be the best.
BW- Inoue
SFW- Rungvisai
FW- I would pick Tanaka. 3 division champ in 12 fights and has wins over Kimura, Acosta and Saludar.
LFW- Hard to say. Shiro looks impressive and is undefeated but Budler is the only belt holder who has been unified and you also got Acosta who is a huge puncher.
MW- Either the 52-0 guy or CP Freshmart.Comment
