    Wake me up when a meaningful matchup happens there again. Bunch of premadonnas who won't fight each other. It's going to be a long nap on my end.

    Spence-Danny is a good fight, bro. As is Pacquiao-Mikey.

    Spence vs. Gift will suck 100%. Don't care about any fight involving Spence that isn't Crawford tbh


    Abdukakhorov/Lipinets is actually a solid fight that caught my eye after making this thread. Competitive and a good clash of styles.

    Why do you think Spence-Danny will suck?

    Lackadaisical affair. Spence coming off a layoff/accident and Garcia looked terrible in his last fight. Garcia won't take a ton of risks and Spence will probably be content to rack up points from range without taking too many risks of his own.

    There's two incredibly bright spots in Vergil Ortiz and Radzhab Butaev. The rest is underwhelming.

    Porter will massacre Formella, Thurman should probably retire, he doesn't care anymore. Although I am looking forward to Spence-Garcia, Garcia saw how much success Porter had, and will be bolstered by that, especially considering Spence currently literally has ***** titties and is coming off of a brutal car crash.

    Plenty of good fights to be made, but not enough getting made. That does suck.

    Yep guys move up turn into straight divas at 147 and marinate fights until it’s no longer desired.. Been that way pretty much since the 2000s.. With the talent that was there since 2016 there is no way we shouldn’t have had multiple fights between Brook, Thurman, Khan, Spence, Garcia, Crawford, Porter etc..

    Cruiserweight 2 years was ago was the best ever for the division. Nonsense.

    To be fair, any of Pacquaio's fight can be entertaining

    Rehashing & recycling is all we are getting but that's what happens when the majority of the main players are on the same team and are content with earning easy money..seriously needs some new blood to freshen things up imo.

    Largely my point. There's talent there for some great matchups but we're not seeing them being made.
