[QUOTE="FBallFan123, post: 2832805, member: 35697"] Those boxers had many of their biggest fights in the 147-160 range ... as welterweight (147) and middleweight (160) have long been money divisions ... and super welterweight/light middleweight (154), which developed into a money division. The divisions from super middleweight (168) to cruiserweight (200) do not tend to be big money divisions. Cruiserweight has never been a money division compared to heavyweight. Take a generational talent like Roy Jones Jr. Champion at middleweight, super middleweight and light heavyweight. He bypassed cruiserweight to move up to heavyweight ... and his fight against John Ruiz for the heavyweight title got him his career-high payday. There was talk even bigger money fights against guys like Lennox Lewis or Mike Tyson ... but they never happened. Canelo is a big enough star that he will bring some money fights to that 168+ divisions ... but he is a rare box office talent, and one who was built in big fights in the lower divisions. [/QUOTE]
