    There are so many match ups @140 and 154 that are not happening. WHY???

    If you match up the top 5-8 guys in these two divisions you'll get soem awesome fights. Why aren't the top 140 and 54 lbers fighting eachother??

    A lot of the guys at the top of 140 fought each other. The only fight from a year or year and a half ago that didn't happen was Bradley-Khan.

      With all the superstars around those weight it only makes the other fighters not take risks and wait for an opportunity. A lot of crap goes done in the background that we don't know of

          This. Why fight top 10 guys in high risk low reward fights when you can fight bums and wait for a shot at the biggest draws in the division. The proliferation of world titles made the situation even worse.

            Cause we have idiot fans giving these fighters options to make money fighting easier competition. Why in the world would a top fighter risk figthing someone dangerious if they can make more or the same fighting someone who is not.

            I can't believe we have idiots supporting BS fights and then these same idiots wonder why no meaningful fights are being made lol.......

                Theres too many titles. The Ring belt should be the only one that matters.

                    Bradley fought Peterson and Alexander. He was supposed to fight Maidana, but Maidana pulled out.

                    Khan fought Maidana, Kotelnik, and Judah, and is fighting Peterson.

                    Alexander fought Kotelnik, Matthysse, and Bradley

                    Ortiz fought Maidana and Peterson.

                    Matthysse is just now a major player, when Ortiz, Bradley, and Peterson have moved on or are about to. Bradley didn't fight more of these guys because he already fought a few of the top names at 140 by last year, so there were a whole new crop of guys to fight when Bradley was ready for something more.

                    We really did get a lot of the fights we wanted.
