Frankly, I'm kinda sick and tired of this division. Its getting way too much undeserved publicity when the talent is not that rich. And recently a guy we thought was a major talent and star was mercilessly exposed/destroyed. I think the division that isn't getting enough hype/PR is the lhw one. It has Hopkins, Pascal, Dawson, Cloud and there are some potential big fights waiting to happen. Froch, Bute and Pavlik should all move up and enhance this division, which has always been one of the strongest.
The only guys at 154 really worth watching today are Angulo, who isn't certain to fight again and Alvarez, who might move back to 147 in future. Kirkland is the wild card, same as Cintron and Williams. Forget the lmw's, lets bring more focus on the lightheavies!
140 is an entertaining and interesting division, but not really because of its talent level, which frequently gets overrated. It's more intriguing because of parity, with a few of the top guys being roughly on the same level, resulting in competitive bouts.
I agree with this.
