The moments are slipping- Jr. Welter to Super-Welters!
I think we're gonna get the dirty shaft in this Jr. Welter and Super Welter matrix. So many juicy fights, but because we are allowing Manny and Tim Bradley to SUCK the air out of everyone else, we are not watching other guys that should have fought each other by now. Than God Mayweather left the scene, or else we may not have been watching anyone else in boxing.
From Jr Welter- Crawford, Provodnikov, Postol, Vargas and Matthysse... then at Welter- Thurman, Garcia, Brook, Khan and Ali... and at Super-Welter- Charlo Brothers, Smith, Andrade, Lara and Matirosyan.... But yet, we can count on our hands how many match-ups we had with either of them in the ring against each other. Aside from Matirosyan and Provodnikov, we would have seen virtually nothing from this crop.
I left off Lamont Peterson, Manny, Bradley and JMM because they are old guys now. Not so much Peterson, but I put him there because he is just as much out of it. But there is NO REASON why these young fighters have NOT fought each other by now.
By this time in his career where these guys are, Mayweather won a title, beat Corrales, beat Castillo twice, beat Juuko Manfredy and Garena... all guys who were RESPECTABLE when he fought them and worth the time.
These guys are just joking. Haymon has pulled the wool over our eyes.

I think people realize this, it's a shame and WW is far worse. THurman, Brook and Khan are especially puzzling imo, what the hell are these guys doing? Postol-Matthyse was a great fight to have happened, so can't really put either of those guys at fault, good changing of the guard type of fight. Crawford had a great 2014 and surely has shown he's not afraid of a challenge, but he needs a proper fight at 140. I wouldn't mind seeing Postol or Crawford slap Adrien Broner around if they aren't going to face each other, that clown is also in the mix with his trinket.

It's really a waste of time and talent.

These fighters are earning enough, fighting their protional stable mates without challenging themselves. If they did not get that much money they would take the biggest challenges.

Haymon makes sure they get paid. No doubt. But it's affecting the fans. I hope to GOD this is not an argument for lowering wages, and capping salaries.
