    Now they'll work around each other until the money is right for a "super" fight, whatever that means as far as these names go. They're expecting big money to be there down the road but there is no guarantee.

    Past couple years have been great, but now we know who the guys are since Ortiz, Peterson, Urango, and Malignaggi have been beaten.
    That's the thing though. They aren't going to get any bigger by waiting years and fighting bums. It's just going to hurt their credibility. I myself am wondering "where the hell is this supposedly big money time going to come and where is that money going to come from?" It's called rematches. Fight each other to build each other up and if they are all that good they can rematch. TS is a right. They need to stop acting like a bunch of girls.

      Golden Boy Promotions is ruining that division because they are protecting their 3 fighters: Ortiz, Khan and Maidana, seems like they don't want any of them to fight Bradley or Alexander and they want Alexander and Bradley to cancel each other out so Khan won't have to fight both of them but some fans don't see past the Bull****

        I thought Maidana was under another company and thats why he didn't fight Bradley because he's feuding with them?

            Once Pac and May are gone, we aint seeing **** nomo, believe that!

            X will say that they wanna fight Y and vice versa but no contracts will get signed. Money looks like its gonna be the biggest obstacle here. Mother****ers out there are too hungry for the wrong thing.

            It used to be about pride and recognition. Now its about the paper.

              Bradly has run away from 140 with his tail between his legs, hes looking for big fights at 147. I hope some shot mother****er sparks him out.

              Devon Alexander is the only legit big name at 140 that isnt ducking.

                  Zab needs to win his tuneups and then we'll see another real threat at 140. He will fight whomever and it will be a big fight.

                    The division has a lot of prospects that they don't want to throw into the deep end too soon. the problem is that they will continue to be prospects until they start taking each other out of the equation.

                      He was quoted against fighting Zab who didn't make financial sense. So your wrong. Alexander is avoiding them just the same. Alexander loses to Zab and Bradley anyhow, both are far to slick for him.
