    jmm can outbox them all... but rios has the size and the power to do real damage to jmm...

      Don't think it's better than 118 though.
      katsidis isn't that great.

      linares is a bust.

      guerrero isn't anything special.

        difference is rios is huge for 135 lbs and he doesn't gas like diaz and katsidis.

        possible rios can grind jmm out.

          No Katsidis isn't that great.

          Linares a bust? A bit early to say that, IMO.

          Guerrero is a decent fighter.

          As I said, they add some decent depth to the division. I'm not talking about them being up at the top.

            Soto and Antillon aren't all that. Just because they gave a FOTY contender doesn't mean they are very good.

              It's more talented than the overrated 140 division.

                no it's not... linares was supposed to blow up by now.

                Guerrero is a decent fighter.
                yep, decent, not great

                there's good fights to be made...

                  I wouldn't call Linares a bust either.

                  And, Shadows is right Linares, Vazquez, Katsidis, Guerrero all bring depth to LW. Still not better than 118 though.

                    linares is a bust.

                    he was suppposed to be the next golden boy like 4 years ago.

                      He suffered a shock first round KO. They are slowly building him back up, but he hasn't shown he's possibly fallen off the deep end.

                      Like Ortiz.
