    Lemiuex and Berlanga are 168-pounders, and Stevens hasn't fought since 2018.

    160 has thinned out a lot since the days of Golovkin, Lemiuex, Stevens, Jacobs, Lee, Quillin, Alvarez, and Rubio. Most of these guys weren't special, but it was a decent era for middleweight punchers. Anyways, I would say that Charlo, Feigenbutz, Montiel, and Murata are likely the biggest bangers occupying the class, outside of a few lesser-knowns in the ranks.

    Its fine being able to punch but when you plant your feet you might have to take it back on occasion ...as Lemieux found out he couldn't from GGG ... thats what makes a good fighter a special fighter...

    160 is pretty disgusting right now. It's right up there with 168 in terms of overall quality

    In no order

    Janibek
    Jermallo
    Murata
    Liam Williams

    Janibek has only had 11 fights

    Jermallo's power at 160 is not as impressive as it was down at 154 which can often be the case after moving up from a division you were huge for

    Murata is more of a two-fisted heavy handed punching machine

    And Williams couldn't string two punches together against CEJ

    Still GGG by some margin
