147 might be the most overrated division ever

    I agree with everything except saying Pac is part of the weak division. If anything, Pac has proven how weak the division is by taking out one of it's best in his prime while Pac is so far removed from his. If Pac was prime, he would probably have smoked the division without breaking a sweat.

    I feel like all these guys can face each other over and over and they will all be close decision wins with no one looking extremely dominant. Then the actual matches we want to see are just burning away due to the politics in boxing to make them happen.

    I'd love to see Crawford-Thurman, Crawford-Spence, Spence-Thurman. Those are probably the 3 biggest matches to make at WW and are taking forever to materialize. Heck, we are lucky Spence is even being mentioned still to be in those fights since his accident.

    It is a weak division. I think Heavyweight has probably taken back over and outshines WW at this point.

      It’s regularly mentioned by media as being one of the deepest and best divisions in all of boxing. It just isnt true.

        I find there’s more big games and unpredictable games to watch in college football.

        I’ve never been able to get into soccer/futbol/football.

        How the hell you manage to watch college football over that period, then?

        Roll Tide dominance made the last few seasons boring.

        Also, you never answered if you tried watching true football.

            I have posted something similar.
            None of the current younger fighters are anything special.
            They've been in close fights when they fought each other.
            They have reached their limits.

              Oh you are talking about current WW.

              Well. Name some other divisions you consider deeper.

                A beginner like you should go watch futbol at a popular football bar/lounge first to get in the groove.

                  115, 135, 168, 175, heavyweight.

                    Not sure about. 115 but the other division haven't fought and proven themselves either. They are just as su****ious as WW. HW only has 2 and a half decent boxers. Old battered Pascal is holding his own at LHW. Callum Smith is top dog at SMW but even he seems shaky. Lightweight is full of new entrants to the convo and they haven't fought each other. Tank, one of them, looked nothing special in his last opening.

                      Sor Rungvisai, Estrada and Chocolotito have all fought each other. Nietes and Ioka fought each other. So I don’t know where you got that with 115.

                      Heavyweight has three fighters who are debated to be the legitimate heavyweight champion, a few fighters who have only lost to one of those champions, one guy who’s only lost to Klitschko and a crop of undefeated fighters who haven’t gotten a shot yet

                      175 has two high end champions, a guy who was competitive in a loss to one of them, Kovalev and a guy who’s 1-1 against Kovalev.

                      168 has four undefeated champions, Canelo Alvarez and Danny Jacobs.
