    168 was a red hot division in the tournament and in the post tournament scene to me has lost momentum...some developments may happen that can change the division and make it interesting again

    there are still 5 guys floating around with some real buzz, 3 men holding the 4 titles and 2 elites without such hardware

    Ward- he is the clear and obvious numero uno at 168, until Froch beat Bute many thought it wasnt so clear and many awaited the big fight, we did not get it and still may not. Ward without a real obvious threat sought Dawson the top dog at his weight of 175...if Ward wins and does so in great fashion does he stay or does he go up....if he loses and Dawson is champ where will he go if Dawson decides to hang on the Ward's title...May Ward challenge the winner of the next big event at middle if victorious

    Ward in 12 months?

    Froch- a fan favorite and one to always deliver even in defeat helped take Bute out of the running for a Ward fight, however I dont know if he put himself in the running for one, also he may wind up in a mandatory rematch with Bute

    Does Froch fight Bute again, what happens, will Froch secure a Ward rematch if not does he face Kessler?

    Froch in 12 months time?

    Stieglitz- not a popular fighter but a fighter i like watching, he has held the WBO and defended it a decent amount of time outside of a few names his win column isnt spectacular and he is seen as the weak link holder, he has been in position to fight big names but the fights never happened

    He's in with King Arthur, can he win, i think he can, many may disagree, win or lose what will Stieglitz position be in 12 months time?

    Bute- an ex champ probably the best non holder at the weight, he recently got one of the worst losses ive seen at the top level in the last few months..he is bouncing back not sure on the return bout but i think he is gonna go thru with Froch 2

    most feel he is ****ed in fight 2, im thinking he does better this time, but to most even that is a stretch. in 12 months what will have happened to Bute, will he save face and get back in the Ward sweepstakes or will he have been embarrassed again?

    Dirrel- this was a guy i wanted to be a fan of but just couldnt, guys had some serious lay offs and has 2 rounds in vs a can that doesnt prove much of where he is at, he is a real mystery right now, like is he rusty, is he a brain injury waiting to happen or will he now shine

    many would say that a top form Dirrel can give Ward a hell of a battle others say he is mentally weak, can he get back to the big time at 168

    he is in with Magee a tough fighter but a guy that an elite guy should beat..in 12 months time where will Dirrel be?
