    I understand they all scared to get KTFO by GGG and avoid him like plague but why these top 160 contenders don't fight each other ??

    We have :

    Saunders
    Jacobs
    Eubank Jr
    Lemieux
    Lee
    Heiland
    Hassan
    Khytrov
    Murata
    Centeno Jr
    Khurtsidze
    Derevyanchenko

    The division is stacked with good fighters but they are afraid to take chances and fight each other.:-:)verysad

    If they would fight each other the mw division would be much HOTTER and exciting and the big TV networks would throw more money in there for good fights.:good

    Boxing is weird right now. Seriously!!

    With the way things are going I truly believe that one man carried this ****ing sport for the past 6 years. Without him everyone is lost like the Hebrews in the dessert.

    Nobody has an excuse from 135-160 not to be tearing at the chance to be the top dog. Boxing is a personality driven sport believe it or not, it needs guys that can talk smack to counter out the quiet guys.

    For every Golovkin you need a Mayweather,
    Klitschko=Fury
    Crawford=Broner

    Tell me that if Crawford and Broner were having a unification fight that it would be this boring and dull in the build up?
    These Soviets are ****ing boring , robots. We need these arrogant Americans to step up and talk that ****!!

    I don't quite understand this part. Are you implying Broner beats Crawford? Because bud retires that fool.

    I think this is the Mayweather effect! All these fighters try to fallow FMJ's blueprint to cherrypick the best name at the right time when he looks beatable and weak.

    But we also have brave fighters like Crawford and Postol, Jack and DeGale, Kovalev and Ward, who are willing to take the risk.
