Right now 168 is the top division in boxing, Carl Froch - WBC champion Andre Ward - WBA champion Mikkel Kessler - soon to be WBO champion Lucian Bute - IBF champion --------------------------------------------------- Sakio Bika Andre Dirrell Librado Andrade Glen Johnson Every one of these champions has the claim to be the best which is more than what you can say in any other division but the best is yet to come as there are still great prospects coming -------------------------------------------- James Degale - Former British and Commonwealth Champion. Gets a lot of hate but I believe he narrowly won the Groves fight and would win a rematch should one take place. Should win the Euro belt soon George Groves - British and Commonwealth Champion. hopefully matchroom gets him the fights he deserved on board to a Degale rematch down the road. Aaron Pryor jr. - has 3 losses but none of them have been knockouts and has done a Khan - Prescott scenario with them except Edwin Rodriguez and continues to improve ( MD over Andrade ) Edwin Rodriguez - Undefeated prospect with a win over pryor jr, seems to be doing well at this stage Thomas Oosthuzien - Undefeated prospect with a fight scheduled with pryor jr Julio Cesar Chavez jr - WBC middleweight champion I can see him moving up in weight maybe and whats best with the exception of Chavez, is that these guys are already fighting each other and will probably continue to do so. Still despite who wins between ward/froch/kessler/bute or who proves to be the best out of the new batch theres always going to be the Ali/Tyson debate in this division This content is protected Calzaghe - Jones Benn - Eubank Leonard - Hearns Watson - Mclellan Toney - Mcallum Froch - Ward Kessler - Bute Groves - Degale Pryor - Rodriguez To hold fighters like these in the space of 30 years, 168 is blatanly the best division in boxing
sorry dude, but Bantamweight and Featherweight are sick lineups... plus theyu are both only two divisions apart...we are suppose to be seeing epic match after epic matchup.. hopefully soon
Froch is the person with the greatets mentality at 168, but I think 160 is the division with great potential as will welter be in 1/2 years, they just need to fight each other.
Yeah I agree that bantam is probably the top division. What does it say about that weight class that a guy as good as Yhonny Perez is barely in the top ten?
Thats the thing though, Lightweights not going to be the same now guerrero and Marquez have left and the biggest names at bantam arent that big and ive seen some of those guys, their crude as hell :blood Super Middleweight is without a doubt starting to be seen the way Heavyweight was.
