Welterweight is slowly becoming the WEAKEST division in boxing!

The once so called "best" division in boxing is slowing starting to become the worst division in the sport.

For instance, the once overhyped Margarito was destroyed and is now essentially banned, Cintron is.....I don't know where to start, Berto isn't equal to the hype, PW has moved on to the higher weights, Clottey is no where to be found, Mayweather is "retired" and shows no signs of fighting anymore, and we have no idea what shape Cotto is in after the beating he recieved.

The welterweight division has pretty much fell off the status that it had not only a year ago.

Thoughts

 

It's definetely not becoming THE WORST in boxing at all,that's why we have the HWs.
But indeed the thrust is going down.

 

As thunder stated, it is in decline, but the HW division is the weakest of all the divisons.

 

it is realy amazing how a division can go on a steep decline so quickly

it just shows 1 or 2 big fights change alot of **** in a division

 

theres no talent in there whatsoever no up and commers no nobody its such a shame

 

i wipe my ass with the heavy division.

 

to be honest 140 is shaping up nicley

with the galaxy warrior on his way up aswel

 

:rofl

dude you must have some ass

 

the only way 147 can have a future is if some of the dudes from 140 move up and we dont even know how good many of them are,

 

how you figure?

cotto
shane
berto
quintana
zab
clottey
cintron(exposed as trash)
margarito(exposed as cheater)
paul williams (black balled from the division)
floyd (un/officially retired... may be back)

slumping.... yes

worse division out.... hell no
still top 3 if not first.... yes

 

WW is still one of the best divisions.

Mosley
Cotto
Williams
Berto
Margarito
Clottey
Quintana
Pacquiao
Collazo
Judah

All make for interesting matchups

 

Yeah, but Shane's 38 he could be done pretty soon, Berto needs ALOT of work in order to competitive at a true champ level, Zab is done IMO and doesn't posses the will or smarts to compete at that high level anymore. Cotto's status is unknown at this point.

 

Judah and Collazo don't bother me much to be honest.

 

Really beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.I really feel welter is always one of the weaker divisions.If a guy is really good they go for $$$ in middleweight,and a lot of really good guys at light stay there for various reasons. Sorry Collazo,Quintella,Martinez just dont ring a bell for me!! As far as the heavies go Wlad, Vitali,HayeGomez(exception boxer),Chaglev are as good as any RECENT TIMES!!!!!:hi:
