      Bantamweight division surely isn't a letdown.

      It's not just the talent that makes it the best division in boxing. Over the past few years, the best have been fighting the best.

              And, like Shadows said bantamweight is the best division in boxing where the best fights the best. Lower weights is just great action.

                But yeah boxing has always been like this.

                Rid**** Bowe throwing the HW belt in the trash instead of facing Lewis

                B-hop and Roy being prima donnas and not facing each other.

                Tyson and Lewis never fighting in their prime physical years

                Ricardo Lopez refusing to move up to face guys like Johnson and Carbajal.

                and countess other examples.

                My best advice is just not to get your hopes up to high on fights as every fighter is bound to let you down at some point or another.

                  So you say now, since the fights are history.

                  But if you were around back then leading up to those fights (which clearly you weren't) you'd know how long it took to put together Leonard-Hearns.

                  Long time....they let that fight marinate to create more buzz/interest and Leonard even admitted it.

                    Oh well, at least you can scratch Bradley - Alexander off the list.


                    And with some luck, maybe even Haye-Klitschko, it's still not off for good.

                      True.

                      Even at that can you imagine how these current fans of boxing would have handled Leonard not facing Pryor and no rematch Hagler vs Leonard rematch.

                      In reality there have always been great fights, regardless of the era, that could have happened but didn't. Some of them were from some of the dumbest reasons etc.....which is why I said boxing has always been like that.
