    Middleweight is an awful division

    It really is. The top 10 isn't overally amazing other then Pavlik and Abraham. Winky and Strum are good, but they aren't really fighting anyone.

    Infact no one is fighting anyone. Other then the top four, everyone else is lower level/B level. Slyvester was a disapointment. Randy Griffin is ok, but he can't beat strum. Rubio is bah and so is the person who he beat last time, but really lost to imo.

    Then the other guys like Grevor and Marquez, they lost to Abraham already so not much excitment. David Lopez is slowly working his way up. John Duddy is ****, but exctining.

    There are a lot of good prospects like Qullin and Greene, but they aren't stepping up.

    What is worse of all, is the champ, Kelly just came off a huge loss to Hopkins.

    It's probably at an all time low in terms of an overall division.

              Bumping this do to the fact that Grevor is ranked now #4 by The Ring. Grevor isn't a bad fighter necessarily, but he got completely over whelmed by Arthur Abaraham. I'm not even sure if he would be in the top 10 middleweights if he fought in the late 90s or early 00s when Bernard was dominant....

              This is the worse middleweight division minus the top 2 (or 3 if you count Strum) guys ever....

                Agreed. Aside from the top few guys, the division is woeful.

                  strange isnt it, just a year or two ago this division was really on fire.

                  looks like heavyweight division is > middleweight now.

                  dont forget about pantera though, he may not be the best, but hes still exciting and dangerous.

                    Felix ''The Cat'' Strum is good. but he ducks so much he quacks! Grow some balls!

                    John Duddy vs Andy Lee needs to happen. I dunno why, it just does!
