    Well, if Bumlovkin moved up then he'd be right at home.

    Lol...

    Moving up to 147 to fight the likes of quartey oscar mosley or tito was light years better than anything that DEAD division had to offer:deal Log off.

    What do you mean he "built his way down to 160" lmao. He realized he wasn't a true lhw yet. This forum needs brain regulators. Start shocking you mofos into saying meaningful ****.

    Sorry but NO.

    Hopkins' 160 era had fighters like:

    Trinidad
    Glen Johnson
    William Joppy
    Keith Holmes

    Today's 160 division does NOT come close...

    Pimp, he needs to log off.
    Who were the hot fighters at 140 when Kostya was there and did they fight each other?

    I have no problem with GGG staying at MW, which is his natural weight, busting Hopkins' record and taking the occasional big-money 168 fight. A few more years at this clip and he'll be a top 5 ATG MW on numbers alone.

    Tszyu has the W over Zab Judah - which eclipses *anything* on Bumlovkin's resume...

    So you admit there's no reason for him to move up.

    GG has not become the lineal champ at 160. He has to win the chip. He has some guys there if he wins the true mw title. He doesn't have to move up yet.

    :deal
    Beating Hopkins record is irrelevant when you look at the trash he fought to do it. I couldn't agree more Hopkins was a ATG for what he did above 160 he dared to be great by moving up and facing Tarver, Calzaghe, Kovalev, Pavlik, Pascal, Dawson and a RJJ rematch.

    There's no reason for Bumlovkin to continue his career at all. If all he's going to do is fight TOMATO CAN after TOMATO CAN - why keep fighting? What does the Triple Duck prove by knocking over an endless string of TOMATO CANs and getting HBO's top brass fired in the process?

    LMAO how was it a dead division?

    Tszyu unified against Judah in 2001.

    In 2001 Trinidad was at 160
    Oscar was at 154
    Mosley was at welter but was fighting Taylor and Stone then went and lost to Forrest.
    As for Quartey he was at 154 in 2000 then didn't fight until 2005.

    So try again Dennis. But before you do please look it up, it was one of the hottest divisions,google it. Before the electricity runs out.
