    The division that they call bum land aka middleweight. It really isn't close.

    Barring GGG, I pick the top 5 at 154 and 168 easily beating everyone at 160.

    Golovkin, Jacobs, Saunders, Eubank Jr, Derevyanchenko, Quigley, Khurtsidze,Sulecki, LemieuxQuillin, Lee, Murata, Heiland , the Falcao's,etc

    It's a decent division, not one of the strongest divisions.. it's down there with light welter, super middle and light middle...

    However it is extremely disrespectful to call it 'Bumland', it's better than Light Middleweight clearly yet no one is direspecting Light Middleweight calling it 'bumland' when theres much more of case to call 154 that name seeing as though its been the weakest division for years!

    Kinda like from 2006 up until recently certain rejects were calling the heavyweight division "The WORST" and "Weak" But recently it's "On fire!!" and "Has life again!"

    Wonder why?!

    Bundrage and Trout are decent, as is Williams.

    Guys like Willie Munroe, N'Dam and Dominic Wade, Khurtsidze and Heiland are in and around the top 10s at MW - that's bum-city. Not a future or past world champion among them.

    The good thing about boxing is that most of the divisions, if not stacked with good fighters will have a few shining stars - all of which is good for us.

    Who has Bundrage in the top 10 LMW let alone top 5. You're making a huge stretch. There's some missing a lot at LMW but look at your Middleweight list, you have to include Canelo to even make a top 5 who doesn't even fight at 160. A healthy division has a healthy mix of elite, dangerous and vet fighters like LMW. A lot of ggg mismatch leftovers lingering about, how were they in the top 10 to begin with, and how are they not knocked out of the top 15 by now. Well besides the need to pretend that was strong competition. Eubank Jr. is just kind of there by default, he hasn't exactly earned it. Kind of like Haye at Heavyweight. Nice try though.

    Lots of ggg leftovers still lingering about and they should have been knocked off by now but there's not even decent depth at MW.

    You want me to name 5 established fighters from 154 and 168 to beat a couple of prospects? That's too easy... I'd rather discuss the top 5 fighters at MW in Jacobs, Lee, Saunders, Lemmy and Eubank Jr. They get demolished by anyone half decent north and south of their divisions. It wouldn't be close TBH, they call it bum land for a reason.

    The division where Sam Soliman and a shot mental patient can win a belt.

    The division where a shot to ****, damaged goods midget made quick work of the lineal champ and a former unified MW champ.

    Yes, the division is that bad. LMFAO

    Why do these 154 unproven guys like Andrade and Charlo etc that you speak so highly prematurely of lol always talk about moving up to 160 yet never actually do it! Americans have been awful in the middleweight years for many years now.

    Nobody should respect boxrec's rankings. They need better coders for proper rankings.

    The boxrec rankings also have 3 JMW fighters in their top 20 P4P and only one MW. In fact you can stretch it all the way to top 50 and you only get one more MW in the entire list for a grand total of two. Cornelius Bundrage, who you are trying to point out as being bad, is higher than every single MW bar Jacobs and GGG in the P4P rankings on Boxrec.

    Derevyanchenko is about 10th in overall rankings right now..If you'd seen him fight you'd know the score and why he is being fast tracked. Same with Quigley.

    You seriously think some average nearly man like Martirosyan or Austin Trout or the totally unproven inactive Andrade or BUMdrage could move up and beat Eubank Jr and Saunders EASILY..... hahahha lay off the trolling you know full well they'd probably get beat.

    Like I said before, anyone half decent can beat an unproven prospect. I'm talking about the top 5 in the division. I can easily envision both Charlo Bros, Andrade, Alvarez and even J Rock and Cotton beating up the bums up north in Lee, Saunders, Jacobs, Eubank and Lemmy. Cotton already established his mark despite being a shot damaged goods Midget.

    I won't even mention Jack, DeGale, Zurdo or even any of the Dirrell bros and Bute. All the bums at 160 get knocked out, even a shot 300 year old Abraham managed to beat a top 3 MW opponent in Murray.
