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

[Kigali]

I think your upset that GGG is cleaning house and the rest are incognito

there is nothing to clean...the house is barren.

The number 1 guy in the division is fighting a welterweight.. That should speak volumes on the division

Well said.

There could be some excellent matchups made at middleweight, if Eubank, Saunders, Jacobs and others were not such prima donnas.

I hope Derevyanchenko fights someone in the top ten next time out.

The prima donna is the old Khazak..

They actually had nerve to off Jacobs less than he got fighting Quillan.

GGG passed on Canelo's catchweight even though he is the B side and a tiny MW.

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.

Recycled Pacta.rdism.

It's weak because Wade was #1 contender...that's weak.

GGG and his team said a WW is their toughest test...that's weak.

For all you people say 160 a weak division how many of you people would favor the 154 over Jacobs or Eubank? And don't say it's a size disadvantage 154 lbers are huge guys who's are just draining themselves. I would put money on Eubank and Jacobs against any of those guys and I bet you guys aren't willing to do the same.

So when De La Hoya fought Shane Mosley (a LW) was the WW division weak at the time? No arguing just wondering...

There is Canelo, Saunders, GGG, & Jacobs in that division but i constantly hear its a weak division. Its hard to find other divisions with as many top names and skills as the guys I mentioned if any tbh. Thoughts?

Canelo has gone back down to light middle and ducked THE MAN. Jacobs is a journeyman with power who wants 18 months more work before fighting THE MAN and honestly, Saunders is a decent fighter with a bad engine and an often up and down training attitude. He wouldn't even be champion in the Geale/Barker/Macklin/Sturm era.

GGG is the only guy at middle who you can label and say he is something special.

GGG's team offered Jacobs less than he did fighting Jacobs.

He's Gigi's mando so the old dude has to fight him.

If MW is soooo strong,how did Wade get to be #1 contender.?

How did a washed up Rubio win a title in a tough division.?

How on earth did Jermain Taylor's ghost win another title in a hot division.?

It's a dead division mate...accept it and move along.

Andrade and Julian Williams would beat the fleas off Eubank.
