After years of a weak mw era now almost everybody is fighting everybody at 160 lbs !

Golovkin vs Canelo II
Jacobs vs Derevyanchenko
Saunders vs Andrade (I hope :OhYes: )
Lemieux vs O'Sullivan (a decent scrap too)

:clap: :salut: :box: :TU:

The only two fighters at mw that are not involved in big fights are Jermall Charlo and Murata.

I think that people still underestimate Sulecki. He is a top fighter and he still improves. Clearly better than Lemieux and O'Sullivan, imo better than Andrade and competitive against the rest of mentioned fighters (as he showed vs Jacobs). So i think he should be mentioned. He doesnt generate money and is dangerous so i doubt that fighters mentioned above want to fight him. Why not Charlo vs Sulecki? Good fight, arguably the best fight that Charlo could take now

Anyway, its one of the best divisions now, if not the best

EDIT: I think that Jacobs vs Sulecki was a closer fight than GGG vs Jacobs

Its good that the best fight the best, if winners of these fights will fight each other we will get something like WBSS

Its great that fighters in this division got so different styles, different arguments and weaknesses, Golovkin, Alvarez, Jacobs, Saunders, Charlo, Derevyanchenko, Murata, Sulecki, Andrade - i think there are a lot of matches between them where fighter A beats B, C beats A and B beats C

Who needs the WBSS? Haha these 8 names are arguably the best bar the 2 mentioned lower.

Although we wouldn’t get GGG vs. Canelo in the 1/4 finals as they’d be the top 2 seeds.

1.Gennady Golovkin
2.Saul Alvarez
3.Daniel Jacobs
4.Billy Joe Saunders
5.Jermall Charlo
6.Ryota Murata
7.Maciej Sulecki
8.Serhiy Derevyanchenko
9.Demetrius Andrade
10.David Lemieux
11.Gary O'Sullivan
12.Jack Culcay
13.Willie Monroe Jr
14.Martin Murray
15.Kamil Szeremeta

Thats my top 15 - in my opinion from 2 to 8/9 everyone can beat everyone. I ranked Jacobs #3 and Sulecki #7 despite the fact that their fight was very close and even could go either way. Saunders Andrade and Jacobs Derevyanchenko will be also SD/MD kind of fight. MW is more competitive than CW and WW
