    Really? it was a decision.

    Anyway, maybe you are right about Z being better than those guys, but it's not proven and I didn't see the hype around him being warranted, and excuse my ignorance of his resume, but outside of Burns I couldn't point you a good name on his resume. He also seems to be very short for the weight class, with short arms, and his style doesn't look very effective for his size. But he got to 22-0 for a reason so i'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

    With that said, trust me, I missed Mikey and i'm glad he's back and glad he destroyed someone who some fans thought was a big deal. I want to see more of him vs top guys, but I prefer him not to go Golovkin'ing at 135 (Dominate a weak division, waiting for smaller guys to move up, refuses to move up for better names).

      135 ain't weak.

      Just look around....use your eyes.

        I don't have to look, I know who's there and how they got there.

        Linares leading the pack would tell you everything there is to know about 135 though.

        Linares has been overratd since the day he first got on HBO. After 3 TKO losses he went on a mediocre run in a dying 135 and people got amnesia about him actually being the Lightweight Amir Khan and GBP doing a great job of keeping him away from punchers.

        Easter is young, exciting, but untested.

        Commey lost his last 2 in a row.

        Flannagan can't punch.

        Crolla as top 4 is just...wow, the top 5 tells you how weak the div is.

        Verdejo, young and untested.

        It's a weak division.

          Brtis generally have problems with punching power. You could say the same for Crolla. Lomachenko could probably go to 135 and run the entire division with ease...

          Your point about Linares is dead on. He's huge for that divisions and has trouble putting people down at times. Garcia would walk through him

                    Name two fights that Haymon and Arum have put on together since the "settlement".
