Better Competition: 154lbs or 160lbs

154. The top guy at 160 is most likely better than anyone at 154, but 154 just has all around way more solid talent. Andrade, Jermell, Jermall, Trout, Vanes, J-Rock, Lara, Canelo, 154 is stacked as hell. Lubinson is also a name to watch out for.

 

That Eric Lubinson has looked really good so far.

 

About even. Only difference is most of the guys at 154 haven't faced each other.

 

Where does Canelo belong?

 

Nowhere really. He's going to drop the belt immediately after he beats Smith so he doesn't have to fight Andrade.

 

160 got Golovkin, Jacobs Khytrov and Canelo

But i agree 154 got a lot of good fighters

 

Precisely.

 

Those top youngsters @ 154 are big strong boys, and most will be 160lbers soon enough.

I have to say 154lbs is stronger p4p talent wise but not a great deal between them, it is close. Both are far stronger than 168 p4p talent wise IMO

 

Basically this. 154 is 160's daycare until Daddy Golovkin retires and the children go to their true home.

I guess you can exclude Lara from that. He's one of the few natural 154 lbers in the division.

 

Yeah, I think they are all waiting out GGG, none of them want him yet for sure.

Look at the size of these guys, they make most of the 160lbs division look small. Canelo isn't bigger than Andrade, Charlo bro's, Lubin or J Rock. I think some of them are bigger than Canelo tbh.

 

Obviously...:good

 

Well, when Oscar's superhero chicken (El Pollo) Alvarez gave up his title rather than fight Golovkin, that tells us something...............don't forget Saunders, Jacobs, Quillin all refusing to fight Golovkin.................we could have some good fights at 160 if they would fight instead of run!!!

 

Top 5 at 154 seems about right to me
