    See that's proof you a angry ******* and need to calm down, and work on your reading comprehension. I'm very sorry if I'm not as thrilled about the division as you seem to be, its nothing to get that bent out of shape about.
    I've been a fan of the sport my whole life since I can remember, and maybe I'm more cynical about things that you.

    Every division has its ups and towns. Jr WW had at one point Ortiz, Judah, Peterson, Bradley, Maidana, Alexander, Khan and plenty more. Then the division dried out a bit until Garcia and Matthysse started making waves.

    Not angry really, just stating the obvious to a clearly gullible overly negative(se.xual frustration?) *******.

    I'm a very light hearted person if you knew me, but the way you write and the way I write we both come across as angry as hell:D

    I feel this way about SMW, where you have old fighters beaten by the previous champ from years ago being recycled.
    Still at WW, I dont think its too bad, it just happened to have 3 of the best fighters of this era that have drifted in and out, which cleans things up. Happened at SMW and why I think its empty now.
    At WW, Maidana has put on a top showing against one of the best ever, Khan looked ok last time out at WW, Brook is undefeated, as is Thurman, Bradley has some good wins, so I think the division is ok, but I understand what you are trying to say

    Featherweight is decent, MW and SMW have a lot of potential upcoming talents that impress me. I made the thread because of the praise the division gets, it isn't quite worthy of, but its not that bad.
    Porter falters and Brook rises, Thurman next question mark to see how real he is.

    I picked Brook to win, dickhead. I made the thread about 9 days ago.

    Yes because everyone knows Decarie, Bundu, Zewski, Omotoso, Kamegai they're household names. Maybe 3 to 5 are well known off this forum, maybe 15 are well known on the forum.
    But this forum is full of fanatics, we're not normal. Its okay but not as good as a couple of years ago.

    [/FONT] As the above list shows, there is plenty of quality in the division. With the new faces moving up, it's pretty rich in terms of talent.

    The problem, as ever, is getting the above to fight each other. Most of the real mouthwatering matchups (Mayweather/Pacquiao, Khan/Pacquiao, Thurman/anyone, Mathysse/Maidana, Garcia/Broner) are unlikely to happen due to the **** governance of the game, particularly the power given to boxers to cherrypick (easy) opponents.
