    Pavlik and Taylor are fighting at a catch weight of 166.

    Winky was at a catch weight to fight Hopkins.

      168- Kessler.

      wtf??
      Your inclusion of Duddy alerts us to your lack of Knowledge for starters.
      Miranda is now at 168 and Taylor Pavlik are fighting at 166 soon and will no doubt move UP to 168 at some point.
      Hopkins at 175??? pure comedy...one fight against Tarver and another at catchweight below 175.
      Need I go on.....

          I know how we can settle this..Its clear that 147 is the best division in the sport.

          lets start a poll seeing what the second best division is..and its not 168.

              I think 130 lbs is the second best.

                Are you suggesting that Lucien Bute wouldn't beat Duddy.....

                Of the three divisions, SMW is the strongest right now.

                  Would Butte beat Pavlik???....No.

                  Would Butte beat Winky....No.

                  SMW is probly the 5th best division behind.

                  147
                  130
                  135
                  160

                    How will that prove you are not ignorant of the Talent in the 168 division?

                      So because 168 may not be in the top 2 divisions of the sport, it is a safe haven?

                      I guarantee you out of 17 divisions, it is least in the top 4 or 5.
