Yea, but I'd pick most of the top 140lbers to beat JMM....(excluding Alvarado, Rios, and Judah)

I really like the division but there's no Kostya Tszyu marauding through it right now.

I'm not really a Matthysse fan but I do think he's got something special, I'd pick him against Marquez and Bradley but probably not Mayweather and Pacquiao.

All have Flaws, All been out-boxed before and can be out-boxed again, it is a strong division no doubt about that but it is not as good as people are hyping it up to be like I don't think any of the top fighters at 140 can beat the top fighters at 147, I would take Pacquiao, Mayweather, Timothy Bradley and JMM over all of those fighters in a match and I see all 4 beating all of them fairly EASY!
That being said, I am glad that they are fighting each other and yeah lets see just who is the best at 140!Last edited by KnockUTheFukOut; 04-27-2013, 11:41 PM.

140 is a deep division but I agree with the ts.Last edited by Godsfly; 04-27-2013, 11:50 PM.

It's deep, but no elite fighters. That's what makes it good, no one is saying it's a bad division to watch in boxing, it's one of the best and the top fighting the top.... there are no elite fighters in that pool though.

Originally posted by The Weebler II View PostThey weren't close or toss-up tho, this forum has been over this multiple times and there are many threads on it. Matthysse was a clear winner on both occasions and was robbed.
those 2 fights were razor close. i could care less what the forum thinks as "clear wins"
