    Super flyweight is the best division in boxing since 147 in 1999

    It’s a bold statement but I believe it to be true.

    Roman Gonzalez, Juan Francisco Estrada, Kazuto Ioka, Donnie Nietes, Srisraket Sor Rungvisai.

    Those guys are all first ballot hall of fame boxers. The majority of them are pretty close to their prime too.

    1999 welterweight: prime Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Shane Mosley, Vernon Forrest and also older Pernell Whitaker.

    That’s the first weight class that comes to mind I feel confident tanking over this version of superflyweight.

    What weight classes am I missing?

    Those very small weight classes are way too close together. 112 then 115 then 118 is silly BS with a burger and fries and a large coke putting you into a new weight class. Maybe there are very good fighters at 115 but 3 pound heavier Inoue crushes all of them.

              the best ever is middleweight when 90s started: nunn, mccallum, julian jackson, toney, jones, kalambay, eubank, benn, watson, collins, graham, reggie johnson, lamar parks, mcllelan. i think this would never be topped.

                  *also fact,
                  in choco's prime, when he was p4p#1
                  inoue called him out numerous times
                  choco did everything he could to avoid him, and for some reason opted to take the SSR fight
                  inoue even went to vegas to confront him, sat ringside for the fight
                  then after choco lost, inoue moved up to bw

                    I love Inoue but there is nothing factual about this comment, no disrespect. I actually remember thinking how Inoue would be an extremely dangerous fight at 115 for the undersized Chocolatito, thus I was very suprised when I heard Inoue's own camp saying he wasn't ready for Chocolatito, I remember hearing them saying it not once but twice. In those interviews they were admitting he needed to improve his defense before fighting Chocolatito. The last thing I heard from them was that Inoue outgrew 115.
