[brilo33]

in the last few years we have have had ,mayweather pacquiao,cotto,garcia, Saul, porter,Thurman,brook,khan, and we have had a hand full of fights, gutter .brook should be in his trilogy with thurman by now garcia rematching with pac man. so on. but we finally got mayweather v pacquiao 8 years to late, and still waiting with half the division moved up

I agree.

The division is stacked, but it is seemingly so hard to get these guys into the ring with each other.

We should almost have had a '10s equivalent of the Big 4 in the '80s, but we've had nothing remotely resembling it, despite all the talent on offer.

Very disappointing.

It's a division full of duckers and cherry pickers who seem to do their best to avoid each other as much as possible.

I think the division gets overrated by the media a fair bit too, purely because it's one of the last few divisions that America dominates. There's little depth to it though. Once you get away from the top 7 or 8 fighters you start to reach bum city. Like Guerrero, Algieri, Rios, Peterson, Gavin and Bundu who just aren't that good. There's like a huge gulf in class between the Garcias, Brooks, Bradleys etc and the next level so whenever the top fighters face someone lower down the ladder, it's a complete mismatch.

Contrast to say, the Heavyweight division which is much more competitive overall with a lot of depth to the division. Even going as far back in the boxrec rankings to around #30 you're still finding good fighters who would be competitive with anyone. Unlike the WW division where it's a big list of bums.
