    Is JMW overrated?

    After last night's fight, I would say so. Canelo is decent, but can't deal with boxers. Trout has lost every time he's stepped up, other than against Cotto. The Charlos and Andrade are unproven right now. Lara and Molina are both boring.

    Really, the only standout fighter is Floyd, and he's only fought at the weight three times.

    All junior/super weight classes are overrated.

      Hell no

      People that think its a weak division are the same idiots that think lara was robbed...

      canelo
      trout
      lara
      cotto
      kirkland
      nelson
      andrade
      charo
      charo
      molina
      possible floyd
      angulo
      rosado

      its a very deep division

      a weak division now is lightweight, 130, 160,

          Right now...ABSOLUTELY!

          All very beatable...VERY BEATABLE! A fighter like Keith Thurman since nobody wants to fight him at 147 besides Alexander, he should move up I think he knocks them ALL OUT right now. Why waste time chasing guys at 147 who don't want to fight you when you can move up to 154 and clean that out Easily IMO.

          What makes it a good and interesting Divison is the fact that nobody has truly separated themselves from the pack yet. We still don't know who is the best Between Lara, Canelo, Andrade and Molina

            Very overrated. Canelo and Lara, the "best" are both flawed and would never be the champ in a division with a real champ. It's a bunch of flawed fighters other than Floyd, who doesn't really fight in the division anyway.

              Canelo isn't gifted with foot speed and still manages to beat fighters that are superior than him in that department, I still have high hopes for him and pick him to lead the pack.

                I have no doubt that Floyd, even at this stage of his career, would clean out 154.

                Even though he's only fought at the weight three times, he's clearly head and shoulders above everyone in the division.

                  canelo ain't a jr mw anymore. weighing in at 155 twice and then coming in at 170++ on fight night twice.

                  he is a middleweight, he's just scared to admit it because he doesn't want to fight guys who will be just as big or bigger than him.

                    ^^^^

                    Yeah agree completely. Allot of decent names in 154. I think it's one of the better div right now.

                    Agree with almost everything you write , your one of the better posters on this site with your insight and non bias.

                    but couldnt disagree with you more Lara clearly won last night, Canelo got that Oscar treatment last night he didn't deserve that W.
