154lbs isn't that good
I find all the potential matchups there that don't involve Canelo or Floyd as boring and uninteresting as all the 160lbs matches that don't involve GGG or Cotto
160lbs has a bunch of solid if unspectacular veterans, 154lbs has a bunch of unproven guys.
What's the last exciting fight to come out of that division that Canelo wasn't in?
Atleast N'Dam/Lemieux was spectacular and Andy Lee has had a couple of good fights until that Kid Choc struggle. The Lee/Saunders fight has potential to be pretty good, too. And after seeing Saunders against Eubank Jr I think Lee is the perfect litmus test at 160lbs. He's pulled a few guys cards and is Julio's best win, and is pretty much the only reason people feel like there's still a legit fighter somewhere in Jr.
Also, the upside to 160lbs is it's the division with the least amount of Top Rank/Haymon fukkery
Kid Choc giving up that belt was a blessing on top of a blessing. All the top guys in that division definitely will be fighting each other, compared to the deeper divisions in the sport having a handful of potentially great hypothetical matchups that are never going to happen
EDIT: I also like cruiserweight, too
If Huck, Hernandez, Lebedev, and Drozd get into it I'll be watching
