Is middleweight the WORST division in boxing?

Heavyweight is the worse by a huge margin.

No, it really isn't. HW has gotten better while MW has gotten worse. Go look on boxrec at the names, terrible.

[MANGLER]

Not sure. HW, CW, LHW are also kinda stale right now.

A guy who will never step foot on American soil? I hope you are not talking about Pascal.

I think he's talking about Erdei, but it doesn't matter cause Erdei is moving to cruiserweight I think.

I was just looking at the rankings. My god.

The fact that Winky Wright holds down the #9 spot on boxrec shows exactly how bad the division is.

How do you sit out for two years, come back and get your ass whooped and still manage to be in the top ten? I guess it just goes to show that no one is in that division.

Exactly. I mean Pavlik's reign has been a disgrace. Gary Lockett and Rubio in what, 2 years or something? Sturm is busy making 7 figure paydays in Germany fighting top 50 mandatories and ... well that's all I can think of for Middleweight. Worst division ever.

160, 154 and CW are the worst by far. Even 175 has some potential action brewing, now that Dawson has polished off the remains of those 2 old fogies he kept having an obligation to fight.

The best division is 140.

Oh right that guy lol. He's at Crusier now anyway fighting Fragomeni for the WBC.

Heavyweight is up there still but it is becoming much more interesting as of late. Middleweight just never seems to have any good fights. PWill is the one fighter that could change that, but he isn't even a full time MW. PWill and Pavlik is still an interesting fight, but beyond that there isn't much else there to get excited about.

154 is ok. I mean there is Cintron, Angulo, Martinez, Santos, potentially PlasterCheato so it's not too bad.

To me, one of the only ones to watch for is Daniel Jacobs. Kids only 22 and already is 18-0 with a nice win over Ishe Smith (not saying much, I know).
