Light Middle is poor at the moment unfortunately.
Actually light middle aint that bad imo, Cory Spinks and Oscar are both probably top 20 p4p's, Roman Karmazin is an exciting fighter when he's not fighting Cory spinks then you have guys like Julio, Ouma, Simms, Daniel Santos, Alcine etc. It's not the best but it ain't the worst either.
If you take Ricky Hatton out of 140 lbs then you are left with Malignaggi as the flag bearer for that division. With guys like Gavin Rees and Ricardo Torres as world champs you'd be hard pressed to find a more pap division than that.
But actually there is and they are so quiet that nobody even thinks about them at all.
I am of course talking about the strawweights. Now that Calderon has moved up I couldn't tell you a single fighter at that weight?
Can anyone else?
Thought not ;)
No you don't count El Gamo because you're just a fetishist :lickish:
154 for me, is'nt all that exciting....
As for 140, In addition you have Junior Witter, supporting acts such as Steve Forbes, Demetrius Hopkins and Peterson on the up and up. For me it's got plenty talent it's just a matter of getting them fighting each other.
I dunno why I didn't mention this, but Heavyweight is fucking weak right now. Considering how much we all bitch about how shite the fights are at Heavy, I'm surprised more didn't mention this.
When was the last time we had a Heavyweight fight that had us on the edge of our seats?
I completely disagree about the super middleweight division being weak though.
I'll say it here and now, 168 lbs will be the best division in 2008.
Consider if Calzaghe moves up we've got a battle royale with the following guys.
Kessler
Lucian Bute
Jermain Taylor
Anthony Mundine
Edison Miranda
Allan Green
Carl Froch
Jean Pascal
Andre Ward
Librado Andrade
That's one hell of a lineup imo.
Bilbo how are you going to put Froch and not put Bika in there come on now.
Not to speak on behalf of my furry-footed friend, but ultimately Froch still has potential value and is scheduled for an eliminator, whilst Bika has fought and failed to win at the highest level a number of times. I'd put Froch in there above Bika too.Quote:

Basically, because Bika has faced the competition, and has proved himself to be good, but not great in the division. Froch however, has retired Sergey Tatevosyan with his 2nd round KO, with Tatevosyan having never been stopped before, and having destroyed an aging Reid has proved he's got title potential, whilst Bika doesn't have any until our current champions retire or move up a division.Quote:
