Remember this time about two years ago? Looked like there were going to be a series of really good fights at 115 involving Mijares, Vic, Montiel, Donaire, and even maybe fringe guys like Morel, Munoz, Lopez and Kirilov? Instead Vic blasts Mijares and pretty much finishes Arce, Mijares hits a tailspin, Montiel never steps up to the plate, and the Donaire - Vic rematch never happens either. Vic loses to Kong, and the other guys all basically fell off the map. Kind of a reminder that divisions only stay hot for so long. We've all done our fair share of nuthugging Showtime recently, but I also give them credit for not missing their window at 168. They could have made a heck of a lot more out of 115, but then again, at the lighter weights the money is never there.
Yeah, you're true. I think one of the reasons weight divisions don't stay hot long is guys struggle to make weight until the very end and then they have to move up out of the division when that time comes.
Lightweight was extremely hot at one point too. You had Pacquiao, Marquez, Guzman, Campbell for starters, yet none of them fought actually fought each other at 135.
