How ridiculously deep is 168 right now?

It's crazy deep.. It's like an old 147..

 

Totally agree. Green, Ward and Dirrell are the future of the division. Say good bye to Froch, Bute and J. Taylor (unless he fights only 10 rounders).

 

If/when Pavlik and AA move up, it will probably be even more top-heavy than LW.

 

you forgot Kessler .. 168 is great Bute, Kessler, Froch, Taylor, Andrade, Bika
and i think Abraham, Pavlik and maybe Paul Williams will go up to 168 in the future too.

 

its easy to forget kessler, the guy hardly ever get in the ring any more!

 

I think 140 is better at the moment. Hard to believe considering twelve months ago it was barren.

JMW seems to have slipped again now that P-Dub will apparently chase fights at 160 or 168 and Kirkland has been arrested.

LW still has some intriguing matchups, but for me, Stawweight, Light-Welter and Super-Middle have the best POTENTIAL matchups.

Whether they come off or not (unlikely at Minimumweight) is another matter.

One thing's for sure, Froch and Andrade WANT all the big names! They have no fear. But I'd like to see them fight each other, I've said it twice today already, but for my money the most fan-friendly fight that can be made P4P today, Froch vs. Andrade-BRING IT ON!!!!

 

Bet Calzaghe is glad he is out of it!

Wouldnt have his "0" if he had to fight at 168 over the next 2-3 years.

 

168 is stacked. not to mention Dawson is thinking of moving down.

 

You're right man, 140's come a long way in a hurry- the only reason I'd put 168 above it is because I don't think the top guys at 140 have much time left there, and I still think 168's a bit deeper.

168, you've got everything- champions who will probably stick around in the division for the foreseeable future, very solid contenders and prospects, a great variety of skillsets, and best of all for the fans, great fights are being made. That's not even considering the prospect of even more talent going there between Abraham moving up and Dawson potentially moving down.

 

ridiculously deep as the heavyweight division is as ridiculously shallow

 

168 is an overrated division. There a number of solid fighters there. However, there are no spectacular fighters. There isn't one megafight that can be made in that division at the this time. I guess the good thing about the division is that they're all more likely to fight eachother being that they're all fighting for recognition.

 

Why who would beat him? :think
