The Super middleweight division is looking at its weakest in years

sounds to me like the super middle title changed hands ALOT before joe calzaghe got it.

 

Thats exactly what it did. JC had the WBO and had no designs on unifying. It was only because of the money on the table in the Lacy bout and subsequent unifications by Kessler that he ended up with the titles. Prior to that all the titles were splintered (apart from the IBF when Sven had it) and changed hands often.

 

yes you did, you wrote about how wards only good win is kessler and how ottke beat a few world class fighters.

 

Mitchell was well behind vs Liles before TKO'ing him in the 11th, he was losing to Siaca in the first fight and arguably lost to him in the second fight, when he fought a really good SMW in Calzaghe his limitations were proven.

Lacy's resume is as good as Bute's, which is the problem, Lacy's career is practically done and look at his resume, yet he's considered one of the best SMW's.

Branco was a world champ due to his win over Mehdi Sahnoune, which shows titles are given out too easy. Nardiello may have still been world-rated, but was past his best since the Benn fight. Much like Mitchell, when Woodhall fought a very good SMW(Calzaghe again) he was beaten handily enough.

 

So what? You're clearly a troll who spends more time surfing Boxrec rather than watching fights in the division. The competitiveness of 68 in comparison to when Sven and JC reigned over the division is unquestionable.

 

again, jeff lacy is finished, retired and butes just getting started.

and so what if kessler already lost? byron mitchell lost twice before fighting calzaghe.

EDIT: also its not like kessler lost to a bum, he lost to arguably the best supermiddle ever.

 

it is, you're acting as if kessler will be the only good win he has

why not be patient and see?

maybe in a few years time you can bump this thread to prove me wrong?
