160 is actually a very strong division compared to most divisons

Guys like Usyk and Gassiev may well make it to top10 at heavy. HW division is the only one you can become top10 with a single win.

Cotto never fought a healty MW at MW limit. It's like claiming Pacquaio exposed The jr. MW division with his win over Margarito, which is BS.

 

Cotto ruled 60 with an iron fist? When did that happen I missed it

 

Also for the GGG/Dirrell stuff, they have a win each in the AM's I think

 

There's a reason Triple Bum said he's never leaving 160.

Its his natural habitat.

 

If that's the best list you can come up with, all you achieve is to defeat your own argument. Unless you're just a boring troll, in which case, well done. Brilliant work. Hilarious.

 

If he has a glass jaw, like you say, wouldn't running be the smart thing to do? Without meaning to, you just praised his ring IQ...

Talking of IQs.... made double digits yet?

 

Then how come two 154 pounders held the 160 championship for the last two years? atsch

 

I agree about Usyk and Gassiev, but the rest of HW top fighters is the best after Lewis's era (untill 2003) - Klitschko, Fury, Haye, Ortiz, Joshua, Wilder, Povetkin...even Parker and Pulev...

I know that I am off topic, but I had to write this...

 

Strong divisions nowadays : 147, 175, 200, +200
Solid divisions nowadays : 126, 140, 160

 

Been trying to read more opinion pieces lately. Here's one that sums up the terrible MW division:

Fair enough.

The thing about the HW division for me is I just can't get excited with Wilder and Fury and Wlad, Povetkin, Ortiz, Haye, Pulev are all old farths.

I do like what I see from Joshua and Parker though.

 

Because they were big names and able to get title fights based off that and the promise of a nice purse. Welcome to baaaxing kiddo...

 

OK, but generally speking, you have to admit that present-day HW division is not weak, neglect your personal preferences...

try and keep up

 

Well, It's intriguing, yes. It's nice to get excited about possible future fights. Something that The division has been lackin For a decade.
