Bilbo your hate for Mijares is getting out of control. I'm not sure why I'm arguing with you about this, but the super flyweight division does not suck. Mijares and Montiel are both very good fighters. Munoz is a good fighter, and when he lost to Castillo that Castillo had not "been done for years." I'm not sure if you even saw it but the Castillo that beat Munoz the first time was in his prime and was a very good fighter. The Castillo of the second fight might have been slightly on the downside but he had shown no signs of that before and was not shot like he was in the Montiel fight. Arce and Vic are overrated (or at least were) but are still solid enough contenders. Well maybe not Arce, he's close to shot. Navarro's a solid fighter, guys like AJ Banal and Gorres are pretty good prospect/contenders.

You can make a case that its one of the better divisions actually, its certainly better than a lot of other ones.
Actually my hate for him is pretty irrational really based on nothing more than irritation at the nuthuggers on here who talk about how slick and sublime he is. As I said before if he got caught dog fighting or battered an ex wife he'd probably win me over but I can't stand to see a fighter get nothing but praise.

I don't dislike anything about Mijares on a personal level though.

It's just Hatton and Haye who grate my shit in that regard.

My contempt for Hatton even now extends to his family members and I rejoiced when his talentless brother lost against Craig Watson at the weekend.

But even Hatton doesn't fuel my anger as much as David Haye. It's almost sadistic how much I want him to suffer in his first fight at heavyweight.
