MW Division is Depressing

[NEETzsche]

So has GGG fought someone of note yet or...

haha exactly. GGG is very promising, but people act like he just KO'd Hagler and Monzon back to back, I'm like STOP IT! lol

it's hard to build a resume when no one will fight you.

[Los Zetas]

It's depressing not because of GGG, but because back in the day, MW was better as a division.

[WarMaidana]

its true wish he could get some fights but unfortunately he has to settle for Stevens. Hopefully after Barker defends against sturm he will man up and fight golovkin. Or after a tune up (hopefully he also looks impressive too) Martinez will fight him

Well if Sergio had any balls, he would have entered negotiations with GGG or Quillin who've been calling him out for the last 2 years. Instead, he fights bums he knows he should beat and nearly gets KTFO in the process..

[Verstyle]

GGG can not be the best until he beats the best in Martinez.

[DoktorSleepless]

I think we've had a very productive past year of top middleweights fighting each other.

Martinez vs Murray
Martinez vs Chavez
Golovkin vs Proksa
Golovkin vs Macklin
Geale vs Sturm
Quillin vs N'dam
Geale vs Barker

I think before 2012, the division was really only made up of Sergio Martinez alone. Everyone else were just "who the **** knows how good they are?" type of contenders because nobody was fighting each other. It was impossible to have best vs best because we didn't really know who the best were. Now we have a ton more clarity and the division is heating up. I just don't see what's so depressing about it.

When you put things in perspective, its not that bad.

You have Martinez and you have GGG. That's the fight to make. They're both on HBO, they're #1 and #2, that's what we should be all pushing for.


Let all these other dudes babysit belts and clean up paper titles while their promoters and managers try to keep them relevant.

[Malius]

Title should be changed to Why hasn't GGG got a title shot yet?
As Doktor said we have had these fights in a YEAR!!!

Martinez vs Murray
Martinez vs Chavez
Golovkin vs Proksa
Golovkin vs Macklin
Geale vs Sturm
Quillin vs N'dam
Geale vs Barker

What other divisions have had those number of matches with ranked contenders in a year?? I will wait.
Shame the best are fighting the best, I mean GGG, I mean the best.

[Russian Crushin]

Problem is that the division would rather duck and dodge the best and fight mediocre guys for paper belts

[Sugar Adam Ali]

problem is that GGG, Serg, and Quillen are the top dogs, murray and barker close behind,,

they will all fight legit ranked guys, but we want to see them fight each other,,,

2013 was a great year because it established quillen, ggg, and murray as top guys but the problem is i dont see any of these guys fighting each other,,,

yes they will have fights, and beat decent guys, but not fighting each is kinda depressing...
especially serg, ggg, quillen- those fights may never happen
