    Well more likely then not the guy that will take over the WW division isnt in it now. It will be someone who's skills and ability allow him to move up in weight like Floyd and Pac.

    For example Amir Khan will eventually be mainly at WW, Brandon Rios I'm sure will be there soon, Tim Bradley, Lamont Peterson. Also, the real good guys in lower classes could eventually come to WW in a couple years time

        HENCE why this fight has 2 be made you dont see 2 guys with this elite status fight,,,,
        I agree with you.

        I don't think there is a fight fan out there that doesn't want that fight.

        It's not that simple though, both guys gotta agree to a contract.

          147 is a very back-and-forth division. Ortiz and Khan have flaws that can, and have already been, exploited. After Pac and Floyd leave, 147 becomes ultra-competitive.

            That's funny considering the 2 top pfp fighters reside there. If the division is so whack, why have those 2 been holding top fighters honors for so long. Lame division means lame fights, true story. Lame fights mean anyone dominating a ****ty division shouldn't be so highly ranked right? Cause they're beating fighters they're supposed to dominate, cause **** is so lame, just saying.

              It'll be loaded in a year and a half or two with Khan, Rios, Alvarado, Dulorme, and some other up and comers.

                I don't think Amir Khan has what it takes to rule any division. People are forgetting that he is already talking about retiring in his 20's, going into acting, all that stuff. He is not in boxing to build a legacy, he does not have the motivation. No way he is going to dominate 147. I think he will have 1 more run at the top before retiring, and if that run is at 147, then I see him picking up another loss sooner than later. Another loss, depending on how emphatic a loss we're talking (could be pretty brutal), could be enough to put him into retirement.

                The thing I like about 147, there seems to be too many contenders and not enough titles to go around. Saying that though, 147 also has more than its fair share of pretenders. You only have to look at the top rated European's at the weight. First off, Vyacheslav Senchenko, a guy who won a "world title" almost 3 years ago, and yet he has never even fought a top 20-30 welterweight. Secondly, Selcuk Aydin, a guy who holds a "silver title", and yet his 3 biggest "victories" have been 3 gift decisions.
