    Is 135lb a weak division?

    I hear people say that but compared to 130 and other lower weight divisions 135 and below it seems to be the best one.

    Compare the other divisions top 10 to this one.

    Champion-Loma

    #1- Commey
    #2- Campbell
    #3- Pedraza
    #4- Haney
    #5- Teofimo
    #6- Easter
    #7- Fortuna
    #8- Tacoe
    #9- Crolla
    #10- Ryan Garcia

    Yes. It was strong before Lomachenko fought Linares and before Garcia left the division. You had three top 10-15 p4p guys. Now we’re very far away from that.

        Some good prospects, but a very poor division.The weights below 140/147 even usually are very overrated. I wouldn't have Loma in my top 30 P4P and would have at least 5 heavyweights above him. He barely beat Linares who is p4p about the same as Dave Allen and got battered by a journeyman in 1 round.

            Some young talents in the division but it's not very deep that's why they're fast tracking Haney and Teofimo because it's a weak division
