Why is the MW division considered a "weak" division?

Does 154 suck because none of them have faced each other? How about 147? None of them have, the only one trying to unify in 147 or taking a dangerous fight is Jessie Vargas but hes supposedly the lowest hanging fruit, Im assuming now its because he has the biggest cajones....
Klitchko dominated but his style was awful to watch, so everyone said that HW division is weak. When Calzaghe cleaned his division, it was labeled weak. Hagler's long reign came in supposedly weak division. Same thing for Hopkins@MW.

Golovkin and his own trainer said Brook is his hardest test to date. If a weltereweight coming up to middleweight is his hardest test to date you have to admit it's a weak division. Or you have to admit it's a BS fight and they're making outrageous claims to justify the fight. One or the other.

Dominic Wade never even fought at 160 and was a ranked contender to fulfill a mandatory~
Curtis Stevens has done what? Snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat against Tuereano Johnson?
Tuerano Johnson gave Curtis Stevens all he could handle.
Willie Monroe won Boxcino
Lemieux beat N'dam
Quillin beat N'Dam
Rubio beat Lemieux
Jacobs beat Quillin.
Rosado gave some dude tough fights in loses but loses every time he steps up.
I can go on and on but all I see at best is mediocrity with all of these fighters, and on a world class level they are essentially zeros. So give me reasons why I should think the division is even average~

Originally posted by Kagami Taiga View PostI've said two. Sure. And they may not have been MWs but they were dominant forces in the division right below him. And at least in the case of Hearns and Leonard they were great before they even fought him. You really aren't saying anything to refute my point, you know. Hagler had great fights with smaller GREAT fighters. Top 20 all time guys, who actually went on to do GREAT things at MW and above. Golovkin said the relatively unproven Kell Brook is gonna be his toughest test to date, and that may be right.

There could be some excellent matchups made at middleweight, if Eubank, Saunders, Jacobs and others were not such prima donnas.
I hope Derevyanchenko fights someone in the top ten next time out.
