The 21st Century's Best Light Welters

[4Corners]

140 has been one of those divisions where all I can remember is being discontent with the matches, glad we got Garcia-Matthysse.

Exactly. No Mayweather-Cotto in 2005 or Mayweather-Hatton in 2005, though we ended up getting both though. Cotto-Gatti or Cotto-Hatton would have been good too.

No Bradley-Khan, which was the Lucas-Danny equivalent in 2011.

Oh come on, you know Floyd has avoided guys from 140-154, let's not use him as an example. Other than that we've had almost all the top guys fight each other over the last 13 years or so. It's been a better division in this regard than say 168 (things are changing) or 175 or the HW division and the biggest of all 147 (again things seem to be changing).

Just some of the big big fights we've had off the top of my head:

Khan/Maidana
Bradley/DA
Judah/Tszyu
Garcia/Khan
Maidana/Ortiz
Holt/Bradley

There are many more I just can't remember right now. Definitely my fav division for a long time although things are heating up at 160.
