    no CST, a division can't be strong because one guy is light years above the rest, I think you need to change forums with that logic here

    CST80 is passionate about the hate for Cotto.

    :think

    Michel Soro is the one I'm paying close attention to.

    Would love to see him fight any of the champions at MW.

    Funny, I see no response from him thus far, I guess he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

    A load of prospects and unproved talent doesn't make a good division. How many MWs are there in the top 30 p4p? 2?

    When you have shot a to pieces Jermaine Taylor picking up a belt, and blown up shot WW Cotto destroying one of the top rated guys you know a division is weak.

    How many Cruiserweights are in the Top 30 P4P Lists?
    How many Flyweights are in the Top 30 P4P Lists?
    How many Light Heavyweights are in the Top 30 P4P Lists?
    How many Super Featherweights are in the Top 30 P4P Lists?


    Not many, but they are still all solid divisions. I try not to rely on letting biased as hell Boxing lists dictate to me what my opinion on a division is. I like to use my own judgment instead of the judgment of lists that are paid off to have Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. ranked as number 1 contender in a division he's barely fought in.

    Please, enlighten us. What makes the MW division worse than HW, CW, SMW, LWW?

    You cannot seriously think MW is better than SMW or HW

    CW or LWW is debatable, but they are also relatively weak divisions

    CW is one of the weaker divisions. Don't know much about flyweight so can't comment.

    Before the likes of Walters, Lomachenko and Selby move up SFW is about the same level of MW.

    LHW is a much stronger division with Kovalev, Beterbiev, Stevenson, Hopkins, Pascal, Fonfara

    Still waiting for the explanation. MW has three stars against HW's one, and It's the deeper and more competitive division as CST explained.

    Any division that is not dominated by a certain group is considered weak.
    Any division dominated by European, Asian or Latino fighters is considered weak.
    These haters better get used to it, because the best prospects from 160-Heavyweight are mostly Euro fighters.
    It's going to be quite funny to see what the haters say once another Euro takes over Middle after GGG.
