168 LBS most packed and exciting divison

168 is corny for that reason tho

kessler waits on calzaghe
abrhaham waits on kessler
abraham waits on pavlik
pavlik waits on miranda
miranda waits on pavlik
froch waits on kessler
bute waits on froch
froch waits on taylor

its endless.... my version might not be perfectly accurate but guys need to step up and either start calling out names or making sacrifices because in the long run it will pay off

 

Most of those you said aren't true and some are even MWs.This year SMW had great fights,I mean 2008.

 

what i said was pretty inaccurate

but whenever i read something about 168 its just about someone else waiting to fight someone else.... thats why i dont even acknowledge it most of the time........ the first fighter that comes to the state (since most of them are euro) and just start making noise regardless of if they are fighting bums or legit challengers will be the first fighter to get their big chance

 

Thats what pisses me off about boxing. It shouldn't have to be that way.

 

Not necessarily.Calzaghe became the man at SMW in Europe.Kessler,Bute or any other can do it outside of the States too.

 

edit

 

because boxers think there super stars before they truly are
you have to pay your dues before you can call the shots
oscar
floyd
calzaghe
paqman
& even hatton to an extent paid their dues to be bosses

thats why they can sit around and choose a particular opponent because they already grinded for years and years taking smaller opponents and working their way up

yeah but it took calzaghe like 20 years.... if they would just come over to the states they would get what they want way quicker

 

Bika vs Manfredo
Bute vs Andrade
Froch vs Pascal
Taylor vs Lacy
Plenty of action at 168 recently.

 

Well if those stupid tv channels don't pick the fights they can't come can they?
Look a HBO not wanting Froch vs Taylor who should be a good action packed fight.That's BS man.

 

I think most of the top SM’s are waiting to see who Taylor decides to fight, as he is probably the biggest draw, and has HBO backing. So who is the stand out choice for Taylor?

 

Thats my point. They have to come to the states even tho the best @ 168lb are based outside the U.S.

 

espn & versus are always available..... thats what im talking about

PAYING DUES!

I gave abraham big time props for coming to america and fighting miranda on espn or whatever @ ft lauderdale.. spoke broken english and all that..

prove's he wants the big time and is willing to do what it takes to be there... the other guys need to follow suite
