Why is the MW division considered a "weak" division?

Curtis Stevens has done what? Snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat against Tuereano Johnson?
Tuerano Johnson gave Curtis Stevens all he could handle.
Willie Monroe won Boxcino
Lemieux beat N'dam
Quillin beat N'Dam
Rubio beat Lemieux
Jacobs beat Quillin.
Rosado gave some dude tough fights in loses but loses every time he steps up.
I can go on and on but all I see at best is mediocrity with all of these fighters, and on a world class level they are essentially zeros. So give me reasons why I should think the division is even average~

There are not many with 4 good/great fighters in it. In all reality they represent the best of different parts of the world. I understand they are not fighting each other but if they did would it make it all of a sudden a star studded packed division?? I dont think so. Itd make it fun but itd still be the same talent. Its no wonder UFC is on the horizon, me personally I prefer 130lbs and below, less drama...

Originally posted by Boxfan83 View PostI understand your points and I can agree, my thing is which other division has the talent of the 4 guys I named? Also if you look at it that way I could dissect a lot of other divisions the same way. 147 would be an awesome place to start but my point of the thread is theres lots of talent for any 1 person whether you are a GGG fan, Jacobs fan, Canelo fan, or Saunders fan to discredit the division is semi-productive to whatever agenda you have...

I think 160 is worse than all those division based on 4 names.

Also the only reason one would pick 160's 4 names as better is because Golovkin is a stud, thus could make up the difference in the other 3 being soft with some of the weaker divisions like 140 or 135.
1 stud does not make a division~

It isn't a weak division. GGG haters have to say it is a weak division because GGG is generally considered to be the best middleweight in the world. By saying middleweight is so weak they can then call GGG a coward for hiding out in such a weak division. They insist he must move up to a heavier weight class he doesn't belong in hoping he will finally lose a fight.
