The younger fighters are waiting for the older fighters to safety fade away and then take their chances. lol. :doh:

These guys fight at similar weight classes and they should fight each other. It's sad that us, the boxing fans we are private of a deep hot 126/130 lbs division with top notch fights. :verysad:

Tank is the best talent in the sport below 147 right now, he of all people should be matched more challenging, esp while hes young and can keep making weight. Im really bugged by his career.

Lomachenko fought with Gary Russell. Speaking of Gervonta Davis, he is young and his managers taking advantage from that. He just peaked and had years and years of physical prime ahead of him. At 31 years of age, Loma fights against Crolla and Campbell is wasting of his prime years. Well, at least Campbell brings WBC title on the line. He should focus of getting Richard Commey/Teofimo Lopez and then Miguel Berchelt :box: :box: :box: .

I'd put Loma and Inoue ahead of him for sure.

I agree it's a shame we're not seeing these guys mix it up more. It's actually one of the deeper weight regions in the sport in terms of talent, but the top guys never fight each other.

Aside from the fact that you just described fighters who span three different divisions, some of these fighters have already fought their rivals.

Lomanchenko already fought Russell Jr.
Lomanchenko also fought Rigondeaux, who isn't mentioned here
Leo Santa Cruz already fought Carl Frampton and Abner Mares, who were the man to beat at the time

Davis is only 24, so I'm not sure if his camp is being somewhat risk-averse until he matures some more. It's possible they're hoping he'll become another cash cow like Mayweather, and would rather build him slowly than put him in the riskiest possible match-up while he's only 24.

Crolla was mandatory and still is decent but was obviously going to be easy work for Loma. Campbell is for WBC and is pretty decent too (gold medal lost a split to Linares when he was top dog). If Loma gets winner of commey Lopez then those to fights were definately worth it.
