    Is the Light heavyweight division the most exciting at the moment??

    A lot of quality and exciting fighters and we have some really good match-ups in the future. We still dont know who is the best fighter, so the division is IMO wide open at the moment.

    I think the LHW division could be the most promising division right now. I also like WW, the HW and MW divison.

    Artur Beterbiev
    Adonis Stevenson
    Sergey Kovalev
    Badou Jack
    Marcus Browne
    Dmitry Bivol
    Sullivan Barrera
    Eleider Alvarez
    Oleksandr Gvozdyk
    Anthony Yarde
    Joe Smith Jr

    If not then must be the three headed monster of Thurman, Spence, and Crawford who won't mix it up until next year.

      At the top ten, potential WBSS tournament level? For sure.

      I love 147lbs, but I don't think 147 is quite as sexy a division right now that far down the rankings as 175 is.

        But is potentially more talented at the top by way of having 3 guys I mentioned as possible top 10 P4P. At 175 you have Kovalev and the winner of Stevenson vs Jack as being potential top 10 and then there's a dropoff after that.

          It's stacked AF

          Sullivan Barrera's going to come out on top after the smoke clears.

          I think he could take Ward in a rematch too. He was hella green the first time around.

            I think it's the strongest weight class overall and it's my favorite weight class right now. Things can change as new good boxers show up and current good boxers get old but right now I think 175 is a very strong weight class with lots of big punchers. I think Bivol may really be good and he gets tested by a good fighter tonight.

              ....so you favor him to beat Bivol tonight?

                  A division is only exciting when the top fight the top, best v best. That is only happening in 3 divisions out of the entire sport - super fly, super middle and cruiser and its only super fly that has produced great fights thus far.

                  Light heavy is just as meaningless now as it was back when Stevenson and KOvalev couldnt get it done.
