Whatever happened to wiping out your division?

Money talks. Money makes the world go round.

 

Green, Moolah, Chip's, Dead President's, Devil's salad...ect

 

calzaghe, haye, darchinyan did it after bhop

 

So did Cory Spinks.

 

Juan Diaz was doing it and was doing a far better job than Cotto.

 

dough, coin, cheddar, lettuce, stacks, etc......

 

Bread, Greenbacks, Paper, Cash, $ ...ect

 

A wladimir klitschko win on saturday makes that SEVEN wins over top 10 ring ranked fighters (4 undefeated) in his last nine fights, including three reigning beltholders. If that's not cleaning out a division, please fill me in.

Povetkin, Chambers/Alex Dim., Valuev are all on deck too :yep

 

no one gives a **** about that divison.

 

The lines between the divisions are becoming increasingly blurred as fighters would rather go in against a name in a higher/lower weightclass rather than their fellow belt holders or #1 contenders.

The alphabets are also making it near impossible for a fighter to collect all the belts with their ridiculous mandatory obligations, see Chad Dawson's recent relinquishment of his IBF strap.

 

Tell that to the 65k going to see Wlad/Chagaev

 

Hopkin's didn't do it - he lost to Taylor and profited at a time where the best challengers were from other divisions and much smaller fighters.

Calzaghe did it - he held every single belt without ever losing any of them and vanquished the perceived threats of the division.

As for why other fighters don't do it, because it's hard getting sanctioning bodies to let you unify, it's also hard remaining undefeated against those champions.

 

They all thought they paid to see the guy in your avatar. :yep

 

they still get to see him though. The Savior will be sitting ringside in a wheelchair popping off catchy one-liners :yep
