    That looks great.

    But will any of the fights we want to see actually get made?

    I agree, great skills but not star power.

    these division's are stacked the SMW division has always been my favorite. It never lets you down from era to era. Always churning out some of the greatest from any era. The guys are so young the best is still to come, there will be some stars in here for sure.

    Ward has the quantity and quality there to become something really special. Sillakh is one i predict will be a threat to ward one day. Degale and groves are ok, they will probably be gate keepers. With the talent around i don't see them emerging as the best, groves could possibly become something, they are both young but we have seen fighters at there age do a lot more than what they are doing right now.

    Cloud is a nice hard hitter added to the mix, he makes things interesting and will show us how tough some guys are

    Cleverly he ain't ****

    He's not talking about footspeed. Dirrell and Khan have good footspeed but poor footwork. That's why Khan looks like an amateur at times and why Dirrell flops all over the place when under pressure.

    This answers your question :

    Which is why fights will get made easily, no primadonna, no golden goose to go after.

    Dirrell doesn't just have good footspeed, he has good footwork. The way he moves and turns while maintaining his balance can't be compared with Khan's sloppy ass almost-trip-on-myself footwork. And Golovkin is simply a flat footed fighter.
