Weight Division with most exciting upcoming fights?

Post by Ron C »

With Wilder vs. Povetkin and Klitschko vs. Fury II coming up, I feel like the Heavyweight Division is the only division right now where we have the best fighting the best.

What does everyone else think? Which division has the most exciting upcoming fights?

Cruiser and, potentially heavyweight if Haye and Joshua don't keep cherry picking opponents and actually face someone good.

Good fights to be made across the board with Haye, Fury, Wilder, Povetkin, Joshua, Parker, Takam, Granat, Ortiz etc

I'm most interested in the heavies just now.

A bunch of really good Bantamweight bouts coming up-
Anselmo Moreno v Suriyan Sor Rungvisai
Ryan Farrag v Karim Guerfi
Lee Haskins vs Ivan Morales
Kentaro Masuda vs Yu Kawaguchi II (the first one was good)
Juan Carlos Payano v Rau'shee Warren II (was surprised how good the first one was TBH)
Yusuke Suzuki v Jeffrey Francisco - Potentially a genuine fire cracker!

The think about the Heavyweights is they have plenty of Name Vs Name match ups, but do we really think Fury Vs Klitschko II is going to be exciting? Joshua is going to beat the awful Breazale without breaking sweat, Pulev is going to out box this version of Chisora relatively easily. I will say that Wilder Vs Povetkin is potentially brilliant, though.

Worth noting that Diale Vs Higa was announced on Thursday...that's potentially as exciting as boxing gets!

Cruisers for me at the moment.

A lot of top 10 fighters facing each other.

Just a shame about the Drozd injury.

Light heavyweight

Kovalev-Ward is the fight I'm most looking forward to.

Lots of talent at 175: Gvozdyk, Bivol, Shabranskyy, Alvarez, Fonfara, Beterbiev, DeGale (moving up), etc


Some excellent heavyweight matchups coming up too: Povetkin-Wilder, Fury-Klitschko 2, Takam-Parker, Pulev-Chisora

Most intriguing for me is heavies right now. They have to make the fights as it's the first time in an age that the heavies are making noise.
