Is this the toughest weight class in UK

[Tommy Gunn13]

Personnely im liking the super bantams with the likes of Munroe,Booth,Casey,Hyland,Quigg,Frampton,Owen,Wale,Walsh,Savage,Arthur,Roberts&if they step down or up in weight we can add Simpson,Davies,Lyon....Looks a very hard weight domesticly...... is this the toughest???

[gmanji]

Matthew Marsh is worth a shout too. Its a good line up when you put it like that. I think the super feathers are looking the strongest they have in a long time. Burns, Foster, Sykes, Crolla, Morris, Kays, Appleby, Walsh, o'Hara.

I usually cant stand Prizefighter but am defo looking forward to this next one!

I forgot Marsh,you have a point with the super feathers but i think the strengh in depth with the fights wot could happen at super bantam outweighs the super feathers domesticly...some good fights could be made at the higher weight aswell

Marsh has retired.

I would say Light Welterweight is stronger. Super Featherweight is strong to.

I hate to be anal, Tommy, but Hyland and Casey aren't from or based in the UK. I would agree with you on a British/Irish front that Super Bantam is rich with talent.

Certainly is a fascinating division at the moment. The losses of Booth and Munroe in their world title shots while sad for them only adds back into the very strong domestic division at the moment. Hopefully Quigg should be ready to take on anyone domestically next year as he has great potential.

How do Irish posters think Casey-Hyland will turn out? Is Casey a big favourite for that one? Made me an instant fan after his Prizefighter heroics although I do feel he will come unstuck against Martinez when/if that fight happens.

Really like the look of Rhys Roberts too. Obviously has a long way to go buts he exhibited some fine skills so far, hopefully he can develop his power further and become a major player in a couple years time, needs to be brought along slowly with the strength being so high domestically in this division. Walsh's last performance has perked my interest in him too, he was wild but looks to have some serious pop on him.

Can't wait to see how it all plays out, we got some great divisions at the moment for sure

How would u say light welter is a tougher weight Rob?your got the obvious ones Khan,McCloskey,Oluesegan then Daws,Lynes&Gavin bout not the strengh in depth...only my opinion,but thats what the forums are for

Ok Deno,if you want to be like that its a good division without them,but even better adding them

Totally agree with your post plus we have Nick MacDonald if he can show that amatuer skill...

According to Boxrec's ratings the light welter is the toughest in the UK with Paul McCloskey,
Lenny Daws, David Barnes, Nigel Wright, Gavin Rees, Jason Cook, Colin Lynes, Adil Anwar, Willie Limond and they don't even have Frankie Gavin in their top 10.

Super bantam if definately has some tallent coming through and some seasoned domestic fighters that have always entertained. Its a tough shout and open to may opinions as well. Boxrec even have the heavies ranking higher as well.

Good post.

The lower weights are all really competative - light welter is always the one to watch for me. Cruiser the worste imo.

I think we would all rate you higher than Anwar,dont u lose any sleep over this

[Finn]

To be fair Frankie you've only had 8 fights once you've racked up 10 or 11 fights you'll be well up the rankings.

Thats what I was saying Frankie, as of now Boxrec have you outside the top 10. Ratings are all about opinions and not always reality. I wouldn't worry about it as it will all change in a couple of months or so as you step up into the chamionship bouts. You are on your way up and there are a lot of names ahead of you on their way down already. You will be top 20 in no time.

I would definetly go along with super-bantamweight as the toughest weight at the moment. Behind that the welterweight division isn't too shabby when you have the obvious fighters of Brook, Hatton, O'Donnell, Watson, Jennings and Theophane as well as the young fighters moving up such as Vassell, Cox, Godding, Heffron and Al Harbi.
