    Somebody pass a 140lb boxer a mop..

    Why aren't these fighters cleaning up their divisions?

    140lb is RIPE right now, but they all want Floyd or Manny etc, etc, bla, bla, bla, and if not they're cherry picking bums or lower weight opposition.

    It makes me sigh.

    If I were a belt holder at 140 i'd want NO DOUBT in peoples mind who rules at 10st, I'd want the world to know it was me before moving on to bigger, better things. But no, they play leap frog and chase the green.

    Because being unbeaten is considered to be more valuable than fighting quality opponents and having a defeat or two. I'd love to see a Super Six style tournament in the 140 division to force these dudes to fight one another. Too bad it's not likely to happen.

      So because the biggest names are fighting each other immediately, the division isn't getting cleaned up?

      Didn't Urango, Peterson, Malignaggi, Cayo, and Holt all lose in the past year?

      Have a little patience. The big fights are coming.
