Is the welterweight division dormant?

WW is dead at the moment because the current top fighters in this division is too busy looking good on social media...

Nothing to look forward to in this division to say the least.

- - Boxing hugely more popular in 20th Century America, but started falling with the end of Mike Tyson And decline of US Olympic boxing.

AJ resurrected Hvys, but he a Brit, not American. Manny made boxing huge in Asia, but again, not American.

Canelo!!!…Not American…

Saudis making biggest fights, again, not America.

C’est la vie…

Yep, unfortunately. Part-time boxing is huge in America nowadays.

Crawford has the titles, but he seeingly won't be defending them. This division is suffering from consistent inactivity from its contenders. It's easy for them to go 6+ months without a fight.

Welterweight and middleweight are dead divisions.

140, 154, 168 and 175 are good divisions now.

Just wait for one year he'll get fat eventually, thus no choice but to move up. Especially with all the inactivity Boots and Bozy are tolerating. I don't see them having enough time to "clean out the division," as chanted by Bozy. Especially with them taking way too much time cherrypicking opponents. Seven months since his last fight and still no fight announced. Seven wasteful months. If he fights in May, that'll be almost a year in between fights.

These guys starting to make 7 figures in the upper echelons of the division and now they don’t want to fight anymore. Boots was never anything good in the first place.

The era just ended with Crawford-Spence. Give it some time to rebuild. Boots and Stanionis are the best guys out there currently.

What do you mean ended it never ends it just roles over from one to the next, this era got years to go.

An the only reason they fought was Ugas beat Pacquiao and retired him. And than Spence beat Ugas.

If 46 old Pacquiao was still active, both of them would be calling him out rather than fighting each other.

7+ months has become normal these days. It's becoming longer and longer. Crawford, Spence, Ennis, Adames, Frank Martin, Tank Wahid, Wilder, Lee, Charlo bros, Stanionis, Crowley, etc.

I could understand if fighters are having grueling bouts, but they will have a tune-up....then become inactive...then tune-up or significant match-up....rinse/repeat. It's truly frustrating. It's hard to develop an affinity for a boxer if they don't fight!
