There's a ridiculous amount of divisions crammed into 30 lbs or so at the bottom of boxing. So even though it sounds great when you say things like 'multi weight champion' oh and he beat the world number 5 or whatever, just remember in other heavier divisions these fighters would all be at the same weight realistically. Thats why its not really that impressive when u say oh he beat the world number 5 cause in reality that could probably be the 15th best boxer around that size. Can call me ignorant but there's not as many small men in America and Europe either competing in them divisions, the two dominant forces in boxing alongside Mexico. Western diet and genetics means many adult males arent gonna be able to weigh in at 115 lbs. There was 5ft 2 man fighting for the title earlier against shiro, you're called a freak over here if you are that height.I'm not having It that it's as hard to get to the top in them small divisions as say it is for example to be a number 1 welterweight, it's not a coincidence that most the nation's that do well at them tiny weights don't accomplish much in the normal weights. Where are all the great Japanese/thai fighters in the other divisions? So thats why they need top quality wins to be rated elite, like rungvasai has got In knocking out Gonzalez and beating Estrada. Beating some b level fighters doesn't mean ****, cause them b level fighters are probably c level talent wise In other divisions. Some of the 'ex world champs'i see brought in as opponents look crap to me. Know this will be unpopular but the truth hurts
    DramaShow, maybe you should give people of all sizes a chance. They can fight!

      Eastern Euros are not dominant in ANY weight class right now except for cruiser, where the master boxer and top 3 best in the world, Usyk, rules.

              All he does is stretch everyone put in front of him, across 3 divisions. I don't see how he can't be in everyone's top 5 p4p. I have him at 3. Even boxing media folks don't give him props (he's not in anyone's top 5, these guys are supposed to be knowledgable.

              The cultural divide hurts. He'll, I don't know how to spell or pronounce his first name, so I always just call him Monster
              He's not on there cause he's not beat anyone.

                  OP is an idiot, Anthony Joshua can lift 100 pounds easy, the miniweight champion weighs 105 pounds ; according to Dramashow the miniweight champion is not trying hard enough.

                      Arguably the lighter weights as in sub-featherweight is the some of the last "real boxing" left. They fight more often, they don't hide behind promoters, they travel, they tend not to read too much into the "A side" talk and they don't marinate matches. There's less bogus decisions and officiating too. Less nonsensical stripping of titles and less cherry picking of titles. They really do fight the best guy available for the most part.

                      People tend to ignore these divisions and just assume because they watch them and don't know them that they must suck when that couldn't be further from the truth.
