Thread: Top of division

Who do you think is the champ of each division?

here's my list

200+: Wladimir Klitschko
200: David Haye
175: Joe Calzaghe
168: Mikkel Kessler
160: Kelly Pavlik
154: Vernon Forrest
147: Miguel Cotto
140: Ricky Hatton
135: Nate Campbell
130: Manny Pacquiao
126: Jorge Linares
122: Israel Vazquez
118: Hozumi Hasegawa
115: Cristian Mijares
112: Takefumi Sakata
108: Ulises Solis
105: Yutaka Niida

That should get some arguments going.

I should clarify. If you were to hand out fresh titles to whomever you
thought was the man in each division who would it be?

I totally agree except Ivan Calderon should be in there definitely IMO.

At 112, it should be Nonito Donaire.

Solis has done more than Calderon at 108 IMO. I would say Calderon is closing in if he keeps up with his quality wins.

I'm sticking with Sakata, I would love to see the two of them fight.

It should be Steve Cunningham at 200 (Haye has already left), Lucian Bute at 168 (Kessler coming off a loss), Floyd Mayweather at 147 and Joel Casamayor at 135. Everything else is fine

to be honest I don't really know that much about Guerrero or Linares, both there records look fairly sound though, I hoping CJ wins his next fight though, hopefully he'll fight Valero then.

Linares is awesome you should check him out on youtube he was landing 6 punch combos against Oscar Larios, simply amazing.

By this logic then Hatton shouldn't be champ at 140.

Not disagreeing with you, I like your logic.

Don't quite understand. Hatton lost at 147
