Which do you think is the better divison? 168 has a great quality (like AA, Mikkel Kessler and Carl Froch) but also has great depth like Sakio Bika, Librada Andrada, Allen Green, Andre Ward and Andre Dirrell. This compared to 147- the welterweights have a great elite echelon with Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey and Floyd Mayweather Jr, but not as much depth with Luis Collazo and Andre Berto the league below. Which one do you prefer?
168 by a wide margin. these guys are fighting each other. the 147 guys are a bunch of timid prima donnas.
This is stupid beyond comprehension and if you don't know why, you're simply a lost cause. 168 has a bit more depth (not as much as OP indicated), but 147's elite is leagues better. 147, easy.
stupid, well I suppose you be looking in the mirror there..:rofl 168 has great fighters that actually fight each other. what top 147 fighters actually fight other top fighters.....hello....you...there......hello.....atsch
147, much greater strength in depth and where the big money fights are made. Super six for the welters anyone ?
147, even if shane, berto, mayweather, williams, cotto, margarito, cintron were all gone. Pacquiao brings enough of his KO aura to make 147 the better watch for me.
168 is currently deeper but only because it hadn't got weeded out yet The skill level at 147 is 1000 better than 168...
A lot of ducking goin on at 147 too Floyd's last fight was against a blown up LW...so please let's not class him as a welter until he FIGHTS ONE Mosley only wants huge payday fights... which he isnt getting in berto, who by the way is one of the "B level WW". Is this another glorified tune up tagged as a unification match?? BTW the fight is not even a done deal Margarito is a cheater...nuff said Berto won't even give collazo a rematch, Instead he fought urango.....Please NOBODY WANTED A PIECE OF WILLIAMS AT 147 Cotto is the only one that constantly look for the best challenge out there. Defeated mosley and after a margo beating he fought clottey who is very solid. Now he is fighting pac ( although at 145) at 168, you get nothing but the best fighters fighting each other. The super six will pit the best at 168 against EACH OTHER for the next 18 months. There are also loads of talent at 168 outside of the super six. Bika, pascal, bute, andrade, green and guess what they are all odwn to fight each other I like 168 better cause you dont get the same non sense you get at 147 "weplay ball together".....please
