    Top 3 Fighters at 154....

    Combine the top 3 fighters have faced 2 top 10 JMWs in the world, Yuri Foreman who was #8 when Cotto fought him and Ryan Rhodes was also #8 when Canelo fought him. And Vanes hasnt even fought anybody close to top 20


    Yet those guys are 1,2,and 3 in the division

    Anybody find this extremely sad? Are there any "weaker" top 3 spots in any other division?

    Rhodes was #4 and and Foreman was #6 when they were beaten. And I would still take Cotto's accomplishments in the other divisions into consideration since those accomplishments are probably better than most of the accomplishments that the other top 10 have even if they fought at 154 longer.

    But yes, the 154 division sucks because nobody fights each other. Theres a ton of potential talent though.

      Lara and Molina should both be in the top 3 of that division, just for fighting each other, Lara's win over Paul Williams, and Molina's embarrassment of Cintron before Canelo got hold of him. I'm personally sickened that Cotto is ranked at the top of 154, he didn't earn that.

      Depending on who wins Molina/Kirkland, that guy has a serious claim for the top spot.

        It's a deep division but they just don't seem to fight each other, aside from a select few.

        Cotto, Lara, Alvarez, Williams, Trout, Rodriguez, Rosado, Vanes, Bundrage, Kirkland, Molina, and others.

          those rankings are a joke. bundrage has a much better resume than those clowns and he's 8? kirkland just beat the 2nd best guy in the division and vanes is still ranked above him?

            Yes i believe that the winner of Kirkland/Molina should be #1. And K-9 should be much higher as well, not #8

              Ryan Rhodes was in the Top 5 when Alvarez beat him.

              Still, I agree the rankings are odd.

                the most OVERRATED DIVISION IN BOXING!

                not impressed with any of the "TOP FIGHTER" at 154, even Cotto haven't looked all that great since moving up to 154, he sits at the top of that Division...BECAUSE OF HIS NAME and not because of what he has don't in that Division, as soon as he and Margarito decided to move up to 154 they was instantly put in the Top 5 in that division before even fighting at 154
