    There has been a great deal of excitement recently concerning a number of prospects who are at or around 160 pounds. Because many of them have not yet firmly set themselves in one or another division, I am including fighters who campaign between 154-168. I'd be curious to read what you all think about who will ultimately have the most success. Because these fighters are at different ages and stages of their careers, it may be difficult to decide, but that has never stopped such speculation before (nor should it).

    The List:
    Demetrius Andrade
    Andre Dirrell
    Shawn Estrada
    Luis Garcia
    Gennady Golovkin
    Joe Greene
    Daniel Jacobs
    Matvey Korobov
    Erislandy Lara
    Andy Lee
    Andre Ward

    Hmmm

    I'm going for Daniel Jacobs, I'm always impressed when I watch him.

    Hard to tell. Lara, Jacobs and Korobov all look sensational. Golovkin should make it to the very top, but fights under a limited promotional company. Don't sleep on Boo Boo Andrade, he might steal the show.

    You're right. I've put a poll up. Because I listed eleven fighters and the maximum poll options are ten, I omitted Andy Lee. I figure many won't vote for him given his loss to Vera. Just write a post if you think he's your answer.

    I tend to agree with this, especially the part about Andrade. Both Jacobs and Boo Boo are significantly younger than Lara and Korobov. That might factor into what they're able to do. Then again, at the rate the Russian and Cuban are being moved, it may not really matter. There's just a lot to love about Andrade: height, length, southpaw stance, hand speed, amateur background, etc.
