Things not thread worthy

[and the NEW]

Tim Bradley, now Garcia, Provodnikov, Josesito Lopez, Alexander, Algieri, Broner, Rios, Alvarado, Marquez, to a lesser degree Khan and Maidana etc. I'm sure there's more that I'm missing. Is there another division in boxing that has so many guys fighting in it that should/could be fighting in the division below?

It's all for the Mayweather and Pacquiao sweepstakes. Ain't no other division pay nearly as much if you get that ticket, which is why all the talent is clustering at 147.

And 4 of those guys have got those fights (Bradley, Rios, Marquez and Maidana).

And then there is Guerrero, who jumped 140 altogether, but he is another that got the golden ticket!

Although Provodnikov is still at 140lber.
