    LOL it's the opposite of stacked, it's one of the weakest divisions clearly.

    And Ramirez is not talented, he's average/mediocre. Hence why they are cherrypicking to the extreme with him

    Groves, Callum Smith and Benvaidez are the clear top 3 at 168, and if you starting looking down at the rest of the top 10 and top 20 things get very, very weak.

    Hart is good. He’d probably beat DeGale.

    Please tell me this a joke! :lol::lol::lol:

    Jesse Hart is completely ****, I've no idea how he's still ranked in the top 10. He's the worst fighter in any top 10 in any division currently.

    He’s easily better than Caleb Truax.

    Hart is a little sloppy, and his balance isn't great, but he has huge power and very fast hands. He's a very VERY dangerous opponent, for anyone. I thought he fought Ramirez stupidly, almost never going to the body even though Zurdo was wide open for that. I think his trainer / cornerman is severely limited.

    I had high hopes for him up to about a year ago, but he doesn't seem to be improving. I always thought he could become top-level with a different trainer, but time is starting to run out for him.

    Even so, he's a legit top ten.

    I think he won't be able to make 168 much longer, though. He will then be a decent LHW, but certainly not top ten. - Unless he finds a new trainer, and soon.
