    Why don't we get rid of 160 too. Too many weak fighters there. 168 is good enough.

      You should know Diaz didn't really lose to Peterson, who was significantly bigger. Diaz is not rubbish. I'd say he's a much better boxer than someone like Billy Joe Saunders for instance.

          I agree. At least until Lomachenko moves up to that weight.

              What benefit would that serve? Nobody is forcing you to watch them. The junior divisions, on the other hand, water down the talent pool.

                So you don't like fights like Morales vs Barrera.

                  If there were no Jr divisions then Loma would be at 135 having his hands full with much larger guys that can punch like Beltran and Garcia. Walters would have gotten destroyed at lightweight. Does anybody really think Walters would have finished the fight on his feet against Beltran.

                    That means that someone who is starting to struggle making lightweight has to **** 12 pounds on before they can move up in weight. Doesn't make too much sense to me because 140 has always gave us good fights.

                      Yeah crawfords looking the business but the fighters in this division are god damn awful. Indongo was tripping over his own feet against burns. Diaz lost to shot peterson and hes rubbish, dont care about his amateur record or whatever, hes rubbish. Postol, well he gets hyped up but who did he beat, past prime matthyse? Well so did judah, alexander and garcia. Again, i said before the crawford fight he didnt look much good.

                      Just get rid of the weight class completely cause fighters just hide there, picking off subpar opposition. 147 always has been better and always will be, thats where the real fighters fight at, and if crawford wants to prove himself thats where hes got to go.
                      Agree. He's a mw in the ring. Until he moves up to 147 we won't know how good he really is.
