BoxRec

Just looking through the boxrec ratings to kill some time ,

decided to start a topic that doesnt include froch vs bute .

Which do you guys think are the strongest weight divisions in our domestic scene , and also which is the most competitive (ie maybe not the best skill wise but the most close matches on the first page of the rankings etc )

And Likewise what do you consider the weakest divisions

My take is that the Heavyweight , the super middleweight and tthe super bantamweight are all looking very healthy at the moment

the Light middleweight division looks one of the more competitive divisions but its not of the standard in my view of some of the other divisions , but that doesnt mean there wont be some descent fights in the division , Selkirk in my view seems the man who will rise to the top .

Its well commented the cruiserweight division is the weakest but i feel the Light heavyweight division isnt great outside of Cleverly and Bellew either , and the super featherweight division in my view is looking a bit thin on talent .

What do you guys think ?

Super Featherweight is one of the stronger divisions. Buckland, Foster, Sykes, Johansson, Walsh, Lindsay, Smith, Appleby and even Mark Moran if he can get fit. Troy James, Mark Evans and Michael Roberts are good prospects. I agree that the cruiserweight divison aint looking to good but in a few years it could be a very good one looking at some of the fighters who are coming through.

Maybe its more me not being as interested in the Lighter divisions , but looking at those names i would say its a competitive division rather than a strong division .

No world contenders , but a few who could be good at euro level i suppose .

I agree world contender wise there only one or two that could go that high but you could say that about most divisions in Britain.

Yeah of course , but of the 3 divisions i mentioned as strong divisions there are people who have held or could hold world titles at some point , super feather looks a bit like the light middle doesnt it , no one outstanding at current (Maybe selkirk) can operate at euro level and very competitive but no shining lights .
