    honestly the division seems to be the same it was few years ago for the most part all the tournament fighters are still around. I would like to see ggg move up and mix things up a bit. I also think ward and froch need to fight again i just feel sorry for ward they he is not able to show his skills like he wants

      The junior divisions were set up for young men growing into maturity as they developed. To have the extra so-called champions is a joke!
      At 168lbs with 1 3/4 days to rehydrate they become light heavyweights!!! Its as simple as that, if you weight 168 you can easily weight 173 and be a lightheavy!!!
      How about Ward at 175 were he belongs there's good opponents there for him.
      If Dawson could go down why can't he move up. Moving up is a hell of a lot easier and healthier too!
      I like this kid Ward but I think he's hiding at 168 looking for 154 and 160 guys to come to him, and for very little money too!
      You see all these 135 and 140 guys moving right into 147 so why doesn't Ward move up? He could fight Hopkins, Stevenson, Kova and young Alverez.

      All the "super" welters are middleweights who can't punch!!! Alverez looks like a good puncher because of his body type and ko ing nobody's but you saw against Mayweather that he's a very young and ordinary talent for now.

      Get rid of the Junior and Super classes and you'll see competitive bouts more often and less rehydrating over 20lbs that isn't healthy or fair. Ray
      Ray keeping it real as always.

        Ward can move up but he seems content to call out small guys and bring LHWs to him.

        He is better then that.
