    Very true. Although guys like Beyer will fade out (if he hasn't retired already) and I'm thinking Larsen will have a hard time keeping up with the elite in the division as well.

    Still, having Bute, Froch, Mundine, Taylor, Lacy, and Andrade up there makes the division very strong.

    Boxing is great right now, period. Look at the other weights also. Look at the Welterweights.

    It really sucks that Berrio will fight Haussler in September instead of Bute.

    Taylor vs. Lacy coming soon. I wrote a thread about it a while ago.

    One of these young guns is soon to be cast away.

    Calzaghe-Lacy
    Beyer-Kessler
    Beyer-Green II
    Green-Mundine

    Potentially Kessler-Calzaghe

    :shock: WHAT???

    What happened to the Bute v. Berrio fight?

    Do you have any links that might confirm this?

    Didn't Berrio HAVE to fight Bute in September, because Bute won the right to be the mandatory?

    Is Berrio giving up his belt or can he defend against someone else except for Bute?

    Does this mean that Bute will not compete for a World Title fight this year?



    Someone please explain!

    I think it's because champion may take free defense before mandatory challange. Something pretty normal. Especially that Berrio won title 3 months before Bute's eliminator.

    Theres something about watching the 168 pounders fighting which is so easy on the eye. Good division, but like Cruiser, kind of gets bypassed

    The average bloke on the street is 5'10" to 6ft - Average weight about 12 stone - these guys are normal guys who happen to be finely tuned athletes, they can't get away with being fat at this weight so they're always in shape but at the same time pack a decent punch. I prefer LHW but most of the guys there are lazy at the moment - SMW is where all the action is.
