Most of these junior welterweights and Lightweights will end up at 147/154, no?

I'm pretty sure that within the next 2 years most of these guys at lightweight and junior welterweight will move up to 147. I'm specifically thinking of Crawford, Postol and Verdejo. Each of these guys at 5'9 and above. No way they stay where they are.

What you guys think? Also, when those 3 (and whomever else I'm forgetting) move up, who will end up having control over 147/154? There needs to be a freaking tournament at 147 man. Too much talent sitting there for there not to be.

147 possibly...154 is a stretch and a big if...verdejo should prolly go no higher than 140...he has hand problems and i dont think his power will carry up

147 needs a tournament..and not just the WBC one..but there's too much politics and bullshyt in that division that won't get sorted out for a while

Really? Seems like Arum is genuine about working with Haymon. Plus, Golden boy and Haymon are working together with that Canelo/Khan fight. I think we will see many cross over fights in the near future.

well right now arum is suing haymon so how genuine his attempts at that remains to be seen
