Is HW the best boxing weight class right now?

[BlackAchilles]

Outside of Canelo and GGG MW is pretty dire

Ward's retirement after consecutive wins and a KO vs Kovslev makes 175 a little less interesting

In the coming weeks we've got Parker vs Fury, Wilder vs Ortiz, Stiverne vs Brezeale, and Joshua vs Pulev, plus Bellew and Haye finalizing rematch talks, and the obese spectre of a potential Tyson Fury comeback looming as well

I say it should be a very interesting next two months

I look forward to seeing another Wembley Supercard, in stark contrast to Golden Boy's fight nights where the undercard is so boring it KO's you before the main event

Wilder vs joshua I want to see but u probably right heavyweight coming back

 

[Apex]

Danny Jacobs is also a really good MW.

 

[patscorpio]

no..but its improving

115,130, and CW...maybe 126 too are the best divisions in boxing so far

 

[GzUp]

I’ve always siad once wlad left people would consider it highly

 

[FreshBreeze]

Welterweight probably is. Heavyweight has been looking good.

 

[MJ Truth]

In terms of talent plus starpower/mainstream attraction, I'd take welterweight still.

 

[reservoirdogs]

not even close to it breh

115, 126, 130, 147, 154, 175, 200 all quite clearly better

hw is improving but far from being the best or let alone one of the best divisions out there now

Might not be the best but it's as interesting as it has been in at least 15 years and boxing is better when the Heavy's are good. Btw whatever happened to Robert Helenius? The guy they acted like was next after Vlad and Vitali. I know he was inactive for a while and took a loss last year I believe but is he good or worthy of challenging for a title eventually?

that upset loss he took to the guy that went 11 with wilder without going down set him back...and he was already coming off long layoffs due to injury...hes still active but who knows what his plans are..helenius though is a heavy handed motherfukker...dude destroyed my brethren peter, turned liakhovich into a permanent can, and put lamon brewster in retirement for good

wlad is going to be one of the fighters i feel time look at him more kindly..in the end he was a very dominant heavyweight champion..even in the era he fought..thats all you can ask for

but i wont excuse the eyesore that was wlad vs ibragimov....he killed his draw in america big time with that shyt

Heavyweight is my favorite division


It feels good to have :bombzquad: #BombZquad to rep there

Lol, not even close, and while Ward retiring is disappointing it doesn't make 175 less interesting at all, there are a bunch of fun matchups to make in that division with the vacated belts on the line

 

[THE MACHINE]

Superfly
130
147

It'll get a lot more interesting if this Stevenson vs Jack fight actually happens
