Sergiy
Charlo
Murata
Saunders

Itll never be 147 or 154. If Haymon thought it was a good idea for his fighters hed have done it himself. Aint gonna hand over his fighters to another promoter for the best part of the year, and having 2 good PBC fighters fighting each other more than 1 time a year goes against PBCs amazing philosophy

126 sucks. Zero P4P talent in that division unless Rigo moves up. Why would they choose 126? 118 would be interesting if Inoue moves up, otherwise no.

Why not 175??? I don't understand. 175 is the clear choice. It blows every other division away with the amount of elite punchers who are also top class boxers. The most talented AND the most entertaining division. Why would they choose any other? Kovalev has even said he wants a tournament, so there are fighters in that division who want it as well.

Damn you're a casual... 118 and 126 are stacked.

122lb could work out okay. Roman, Magdeleno, Iwasa, De La Hoya & Jamie McDonnell could all prove worth watching.

That division completely eludes my mind sometimes, nothing ever happens there. Think McDonnell is gunna be fighting Gamal Yafai on the Brook undercard, seems like Hearn gunna be matching his prospects this year, a good thing, time to see these guys true worth

Pointless really, flogging a dead horse trying to get an interest in these divisions. Fact is they are too small, first thing anyone's gonna say when they are outside the ring is 'wow they are so small'. Fighters are meant to be intimidating and awe inspiring, I think once you go South of 147 you are struggling to drum up much interest. you've got 12 year olds as big as some of these guys like rungvasai, not doubting there toughness but they are midgets and when chocalito was ranked p4p number 1, he was still an undercard fighter. Says it all really.

So you're not in awe of Lomachenko then?

Think the winner of the WBSS ends up getting $10mil+. They aint giving that to a 122 guy, not enough interest. Youll never get all the heavyweights in or middleweights, Joshua and Canelo make more in one fight than the prize money for the whole thing. 147, 154 out because Haymon. The best you could have are 175, 135 and 126, any of those Id take

Yeah but even the casual fans aren't that familiar with him and he's not a name. At home for Xmas and none of my family knew who he was and one does watch the boxing. Mayweather popped up on screen next to degale and my mum said 'Isn't he small' wtf would they think of rungvasai, probs think he'd escaped from the circus

Who cares about the casuals?

As a true boxing fan you should enjoy great boxing skill regardless of size. You're missing out if you don't watch anything below 147.
