    i know a lot of you dont follow 'midgets' but damn, this division is arguably the best at the moment.

    i just got done watching alex munoz vs. kawashima and man, that was damn good fight from round 1 to 12.

    as you can see, some of the best guys in the division are finally beginning fight each other and come pavlik-taylor II, we'll also get to see three of the best fighting on the same night, with two of them fighting against each other.

    munoz, castillo, montiel, arce, and mijares all damn good world class fighters. then you have others like navarro, kirilov, and darchinyan.

    Is there a reason joony likes guys who weigh as much as ping-pong balls?

    thing is a world champion boxer is supposed to be respected and feared due to the amount of pain he could inflict on you if he chose to. That's why heavyweights are most popular cuz you know the best heavyweight in the world could possibly kick anybody's ass on the planet. Now look at these little 100 pound skin and bone midgets, how can you fear and respect somebody where there is a possibility a 15 year old could kick their ass?

    I like Munoz. He gave Castillo all that he could handle in the 2nd fight. I hope they meet up once again because that was a great fight!!!

    does the fact that john ruiz can brutally KO juan diaz takes the edge off the lightweight division?

    It's responses like the ines in this thread, that show just how far this place has slid over the past few years. This kind of junk would be removed from the forum and the posters would have lost respect for their immaturity.

    Not now. It's guys like these that seem to have the run of this place, now.

    Some posters are so redundant it's not funny... The minute I saw the thread I knew one of the first answers would be by UGTBK and I knew what the answer would be. I think we got your message UGTBK.

    Word to above. Munoz v Kawashima was very very good to watch, advise all posters to make the effort to find it...

    Splendid ideas guys. We should also limit reed's right to talk about Roy Jones (we already know his take) and Sly's right to talk about PBF (ditto). Instead, let's start deleting posts and banning people, that's what makes boards great
