    welterweight is the worst division in boxing...

    sick of hearing this division spoke about like its some glamour division... no depth to the division, no interesting fights and the so called champions havent beat anyone worth a damn...who the hell has crawford beat ever and spence is still living off beating brook a good 6 years ago... old has beens like thurman still doing the rounds and i'm still waiting for 'boots' to fight someone that hasnt been dragged up from the graveyard... just cause theres lots of PBC fighters in the division doesnt make it anything special you know

    And yet, your lover Conor Benn has beaten a grand total of zero fighters ranked in the Top 10 in that very division.

        Middleweight is far worse.

            It's not that strong in depth, yet the idea of fighting one good opponent is too much for bud and spence to bare.
            Stop making out fighting each other is a big deal, as if beating 1 very good opponent in the division needs to be marinated and played out this long with so much drama, will they or wont they?

              Despite it’s problems 147 at least has two elite champions in Crawford & Spence and two top quality prospects in Ortiz & Boots.

              160 has a semi-retired Charlo, 40 year old Lara and Alimkhanuly who won a vacant belt against nobody. Then you’ve got middle aged GGG hanging around for a final payday. No interesting prospects coming through. It’s a complete mess.

                When one guy starts saying things like "wrong side of the street," that's when I started lowering my expectations. I didn't even dislike the guy because he's an entertaining fighter and didn't have any fight similar to Crawford's boring Postol fight or even the Beltran where he ran like he's fighting Mike Tyson... And I think that pretty much set the tone for other fights.

                  The right fights don’t get made

                  But know depth? Garbage?

                  Spence
                  Crawfish
                  Ennis
                  Ortiz
                  Stanionis
                  Butaev
                  Ugas
                  Thurman

                  I probably would pick against Benn vs any of the top 10 in the division.

                  The matchmaking is garbage though
