    It's a deep and exciting division but I don't consider it to be one of the best divisions because it has no p4p fighters. Besides the best guys haven't faced each other since Cal-Kess.

    no doubt 135 is great but i see 168 as a little deeper

    PW can be excluded as nobody will face him at WW. PBF hasn't even garunteed he will come back. PAC won't fight at 147 again. Hatton will only fight at 147 if it's against PBF. judah is heading south to 140. sol the list is getting thinner.

    if iwas going by your original list then at 168 i could include JOE Calzaghe( as he could poetially come back down to face the Undisputed champat 168 if it's not Kessler.and B-hop as he may want another shot at TAylor or take kessler up on his offer.) PAvlik and AA are garunteed to move up within the nex 18-24 months if not sooner(for AA at least.) plus anthony dirrel the better of the 2 direll bros is making a caome back and is undfeated. and your boy PW is even thinking of jumping in the mix

    you overstated your thought here. Many of those guys have reputations that are internationally recognized and are proven world class fighters. Almost all of them have done more at 168 than Jermain.

    Green is on his list already and Oganov got schooled by Dirrell.

    theres a lot of great fighters in 168 but theres 0 accolades to be chased in 168...

    theres nobody there taking everyone's head off to establish himself as the clear cut #1

    Stupid thread.

    168 is not even close to being the most packed division.
