I am suddenly curious as to what this says about 154, when you look at Arias beating Hurd in addition to Perella coming up recently and arguably beating Tony Harrison. Just something I'll keep an eye on as some of these guys at 154 go up to 160 and welters come up to 154
Also worth noting both Harrison and Hurd lost their fathers due to Covid.
But with Hurd, his style was never meant to last. He takes too many big shots and now he can't quite pull the trigger the same way he once did. At his peak he was flawed but a brute force. Lara is a quality fighter and he ended up eventually getting to him and dropped him late to secure the win. Did the same thing vs Harrison. That version of Hurd is gone though.
only because they all have losses already. If there were 0's to protect they'd all just be marinating still.
Doesn't help that every guys who's lost has been upset lol
I'm not too sure, maybe I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt but I don't think there's star names there with high wage demands. Cruiser has been the same for years too.
They also are all willing to fight each other too. The best in the division fight each other on a regular basis.

You could argue that 154 is such a fun division because nobody in it is particularly great. Everyone is beatable on any night

That's how I see it too, but with Charlo maybe being potentially great. I think with Hurd, he really struggled with the extra speed Arias had, and he's terrible going backwards, a bit like Wilder that way, but Wilder has the immense single shot power, and speed as well, whereas Hurd has good power in combinations, but struggles to land when the other guy pushes him back, and doesn't have the single shot power to turn the tide. I actually think if Hurd fights for another decade, that he'll lose about 10 fights.
Agreed, but it was a CLOSE fight and I think you can argue that he was ahead on the cards in the 2nd fight as well at the time of the KO
I had him up in the rematch. It was one of those times where Jermell was sloppy looking for the stoppage. The division is full of inconsistent fighters.
It is an interesting theory but to me Harrison's win over Jermell was debatable.

Keeler>Arias>Former unified champion.
Just wanted to make my own triangle theory type thread...
