My comment from yesterday made his soul burn lol. It's much more believable that Monster will go down as an ATG than it is to believe Danny Garcia will or believing that Caleb Plant isnt trash. It's just facts.
What’s crazy is, I’ve been doing a deep deep dive into Japanese boxing over the last year or so.
Conclusion. Those lower weight classes might even be deeper. The participation rate for boxing is very high in the pacific rim area, and the majority of guys are that size, so it is in fact deep. Zoom in on Japan only, and then you can add in the Japanese amateur system, youth tournaments, college teams, and grading system (they don’t even let you turn pro if you’re not good), rookie of the year tournaments (east and west region). It’s not uncommon to have 2 pro cards per week in Japan alone…(based soley on super lower weight classes..that is crazy). Basically they have a system within the existing boxing infrastructure that will weed you out on every level.
You then look into the history and overall world titles by country, top 3. Boxing in Japan is more mainstream than boxing in the US. It’s just getting the attention of the west right now but the talent has always been there (and it’s getting even better which is going to be scary and surprise people).
