    Why is the 147-160 pound divisions such duck/dodge fests.

    I'm at a point now where I might officially be done with those division in general.

      It's frustrating. Seems most are playing it ultra safe in hopes of getting a big fight later.

        All boxing is like this now. If a fighter has one title, there is no reason he should have to fight the other champions. And with all the titles out there all a fighter has to do is remain undefeated and he will get a title shot. No need to test or prove yourself.

          Why? Because everyone is positioning himself for a fight with one of the two cash cows, and they don't want to risk losing and missing out on the big payday.

          This is also why heavyweight "contenders" fight everyone but each other (with the exception of Pulev, who is willing to fight anyone). They just want to build a pretty looking record and talk their way into a Wlad fight.
