Angulo vs Cotto
Martinez vs Lara
Kirkland vs Alvarez
Andrade vs Henry (battle of up and comers)
JCC vs Dzendruik
Vanes vs Wolak
K-9 vs Shawn porter
All of the above fights are interchangable and potential PPV's while 118 is on Showtime.
You guys are kidding me right now.
The only other divisions that come close are 168 and 140. I wouldn't even say 140 because a lot of those fighters are moving up. Do you know why they're moving up? Because boxing history says the money is in the higher weight classes.
The only reason you guys don't take 154 seriously at the moment is because the right fights haven't been made yet. But that doesn't take away from it's "potential"; which explains why the headline reads prominent.
Wolak-rodriguez; Kirkland-Angulo; are all FOTY fights.
Cotto-Margarito still hasn't happened yet. That's almost 3 FOTY candidates in a few months.
Let's hear your case for 160 lol
Okay, from another post where i rated the MW's in another thread.

JMW has maybe 3 or 4 guys that are a similar class of fighter to the half dozen i named at A level for MW. Most of the "top" JWM's like Angulo, Kirkland, Martirosyan, Wolak are a level below the B level guys i named at MW.
Basically some of the fringe A level talent at JWM like Angulo, Kirkland, Wolak, Martirosyan would be C level talent at MW and there is a hell of alot more guys at MW and they're of a higher class.

Not only are you wrong about the talent part, but you're in left field right now.
I'm not sure if you got the memo, but we're talking about exciting fights with the most exciting potential.

154's multiple FOTY fights speak for itself.
Well then maybe we're speaking about different things. I agree 154 has the potential for exciting fights but 2 unskilled club fighters can produce a exciting fight. Jefferson vs Harris a FOTY in 1999 but neither of them were anywhere near being A level HW's. 154 has exciting matchup potential but the division has nowhere near the talent as 160lbs.
