As long as these guys fight one another that narrative can be changed. Think about the JM division in the last 10 years, once Canelo left the division. Even though all the talent was at 147 and 160. 154 had some of the best fights, all those guys were mixing it up. The talent may not be there, but they can still make ww and mw exciting.

Maybe a super 8 tournament would clarify things.

Not to change the subject, but WW and MW, 2 of the traditonally best, are both awful, the worst either has been for years.

Should be a ****er.

If santillan wins then the only one to beat is email ennis. Dont waste your time with barrios and other bums in that garbage division

You are part of whats wrong with boxing. Fans like you who dont wanna see all these guys fight one another. If hes in the division, fight everyone who is also there. You cant beat one fighter who is perceived to be the best and then say you are the best in said division. Different styles can pose a different set of challenges for a fighter. He may beat Ennis and then lose to Barrios. It has to be decided in the ring. People love Shawn Porter because win lose or draw, he fought most of the top guys in his division.

there was a rumor awhile back where Brian Norman Jr. was said to have hurt Crawford badly in sparring

he's been somewhat underwhelming in the fights i have seen him in though, so probably was just an off night for Bud
