Larry Merchant : "168(SMW) is a safe haven division in boxing"

[flat1985]

Isnt it safe to say that 175 and 160 are better divisions with tougher challenges.

Merchant was right.

What are the tougher challenges?

[Unseen]

wait a minute. jones did not want to fight calz in the uk when jones was in his prime. he has stated that.

hopkins pulled out.

why the **** should anyone move out of their weight class. if he is the champ then people can go for him.

[Jim Jeffries]

Almost every other division has an argument about whos the man.....


147...some say Floyd...some say Cotto

160..some say Abraham...some say Pavs

130..some say Guzman..some say Pac

etc.

At 168...some said Calzaghe....some said Kessler.

The key difference between Joe and your above example is that Joe proved who was the best.
