    For the record I agree with you on Froch, but Bute's got lots of talent... he just needs to fight smarter next time out. He's not fought the best but he's not been fighting bums either.

    So whats the damn holdup... when are they going to make all this fall together? if kessler was smart he'd holla @ taylor... whats good iwth that?

    im just saying literally EVERYSINGLE TIME i hear about 168 .. theres more talk about whats NOT or should be happening then what is happening... its just a big turn off....

    Edit:

    seriously.... if kessler was smart he would battle jermain taylor in his home town..... if kessler beat jt in america do you know what kind of respect and attention that would give him?

    if he did that he would have all of 168 knocking on his door... and probably some leverage in that fight he wants with joe c

    Taylor's the mandatory for Froch's title right now, so he's not looking Kessler's direction.

    If Taylor wins I have a feeling we'd see some unification bouts soon, since Taylor has a history of wanting big fights worth big money. The next biggest fish in the divison is Kessler.

    Same thing with JT. JT has more talent than Bute, but he isn't that smart and he's lazy.

    taylor & froch got deaded from hbo right?

    kessler just needs to come to usa and call out every american fighters name.. literaly..

    why the hell dont these euro guys make any noise... they are way to comfortable out there... they need to literally take american by the reigns and make americans give them respect... im tired of these guys just expecting big **** to happen to them...

    Tsypko fought a title eliminator to get ranked that high. It's not his fault the other guys rather sit on their ranking then fight their way up.

    HBO is being stubborn about Taylor/Froch, but Taylor's contract with HBO is over and it sounds like Dibella is willing to shop the fight to Showtime.

    And Kessler and Froch have been calling out everyone in and around the division, but so far it's all talk and no fights. No one's signing anything.

    The guy ranked no2 by the IBF after fighting an IBF Title Eliminator putting himself into position to fight Andrade for a shot at the champion.

    What's your point again?

    You are bloody right in saying this,axe. 168 is for sure not that most packed division out there.
    However,neither is it the most boring one out there.

    168 is a great division at the moment, full of exciting fighters but for me 147 is the top dog atm.
