Has their ever been a WW era as weak as today's WW division?

[project xxx1]

its ok but the top 2 guys are on a different level to everyone else

floyd and manny are too good for the others,so it seems week

Don't even need to go back to the 90s, just go back a few years.
This era really is horrible.

To me the WW division and MW division has had the arguably the greatest fighter throughout history. You can throw in LW and BW when you do an all time great rankings through division.

And, I just can't never remember the WW division being this weak...Is there a time when the WW division was this weak?

that's just plain sad...i guess we have to wait for these junior welters to move up...and even then, we'll have a bunch of small-ish welters

How is it weak? 2 ATG's are atop the division. Of course everyone else looks average.

Yea the whole speed and mobility thing just doesn't impress against flatfooted fighters. Its not groundbreaking and its actually kind of expected. Same with Nonito beating up midgets and all his filifanboys start calling him the GOAT.

Floyd is a ****ing joke. He should never be ranked number 1 at welterweight when he ducked all of the top welterweights. All my points to whoever rids the earth of Floyd Mayweather.

The problem is nobody is investing proper time and training in young fighters anymore. I know none of the young boys I know want to be a boxing champ they all want to be Lebron, or Adrian Peterson. The ones that are interested in fighting want to do the UFC. What made boxing great is what's hurting it now. Boxing needs one governing body, one commission, and one belt for every weight class. One recognizable name like the NBA, NFL, MLB, or UFC. Professional boxing needs a revolution and the shysters and money men like ODLH, Arum, and King are only going to stand in the way.
