Is the welterweight division dormant?

[tomhawq]

Lol it's trash. A sure sign is that if a bum like Barrios is a top 3 guy then the division is garbage

Looks like even Mario Barrios has gone inactive. Six months since his fight with Ugas and have yet to make an announcement of his next fight.

Ugas was a big win for Barrios. Big wins don't translate to anything in this sport but longer vacation. Who could he fight next in the PBC island? I can't think of any. Spence is on indefinite leave. There's Kavaliauskas if he's feeling adventurous. Or Stanionis.

It's true. And it's sad.

Dormant since 2015 when FMW tried to get Keef to fight Spence with the exception of Crawford making the move to become undisputed.

Keef himself stopped fighting worthy opposition at that time. Brook was calling him out before he fought Golovkin. There's also Bud and Earl among others. Now we're here and it's stuck in limbo.

The heavier divisions don't excite me that much.

154 has a descent list of names but many of them are inactive, but at least it's moving and gaining attention. I just don't know why many of them almost seemed retired. I'd like to see more of Gausha, for instance, the guy who knocked down Tzsyu. They're being kept on the shelf by PBC for no reason. Other platforms should be taking them in their undercards. Ramos vs Gausha could be entertaining. There's Harrison vs Lubin. Harrison vs Ramos, Mendoza vs Harrison, Mendoza vs Gausha, Mendoza vs Ramos, Castano vs any who he hasn't fought, etc. And they're all in the PBC shelves languishing in obscurity.

It's truly sad. 45 year old Pacquaio being in the news again just says not one in the division is active and bold and adventurous enough to take over the reins.

If by ''dormant'' you mean putrid ?
Been that way for a decade and the future doesn't look too bright.
