That’s fair, I am perhaps unfairly looking down a bit on them. Overall this is probably one of the most historic opportunities for the sheer volume of multi champs in one year. Which means what could be good/great in any other year looks more ho-hum. Feels like there’s always something about 197 that feels less interesting than the other weighs.
157 lacks the credentials of the other weights for sure. Are the quantity of good records due to the lack of quality throughout the weight class?
The RBY-fix match seems like it only has juice if Fix wins. If RBY wins, match ends and it’s, ‘well, we’ve seen that before’.
In the vein, how do we look at a 3 timer who beat the same guy every time? (Admittedly, it’s Incredible however you slice it). Does it ring of, he only ever had to beat one guy and no one else was ever even competitive with them?
