    give it two years. The young studs from 154 plus PWill will prob be up there and it'll be a great division again.

      looks like heavyweight division is > middleweight now.

      dont forget about pantera though, he may not be the best, but hes still exciting and dangerous.
      Miranda can barely make 168, let alone 160. He hasn't fought there in almost 2 years.

            oh my mistake then, i didnt realize he moved up.

            168 isnt much better of a division, almost as bad. if 168 and 160 merged it might be decent.

            also heavyweight is still better than middle weight IMO. the only fights at middleweight that pull any interest are pav, the king, and sturm. maybe if pwill moved up to face one hed spark interest but, i dont see him doing it anytime soon.

            also am i the only one who thinks arthur would ko p-will?

                Of course Abraham would KO Williams. Williams might or would beat all the lesser 160 guys, but other then that....

                Heavyweight is better then Middle at this point. Middleweight is the worst division in boxing now. 105 got a lot better with Roman Gonzalez emerging.

                168 is a great division though. Not sure why you think it's awful. It has:

                -Kessler
                -Bute
                -Taylor
                -Andrade
                -Green
                -Direll
                -Miranda
                -Direll
                -Inkin
                -Froch
                -Pascal
                -Ward
                -Bika
                -Mundine

                It's just a nice division with a lot of interesting match ups.

                  What're you talking about? Heavyweights are looking more popular by the day, but don't forget it's place ATM. Restate that comment in a year or two.

                    MAN. I was so happy when I heard Miranda-Kessler, then it got called off. -_-

                    i'm stoked for more Bute.

                      Middleweight is a bit slim on top talent lately. And for ****'s sake, its Sturm not Strum and Gevor not Grevor. Ok back on point. Young guys like Quillin, Lee (who will have learned a great deal more from that loss than if he had won), Gregorsz Proksa (Polish stud), James McGirt Jr. (who is actually improving), and Joe Greene. The division won't be great until the likes of James Kirkland, Alfredo Angulo, and Deandre Latimore move up. That will give the division a solid 10 or so. The talent at middleweight is more willing to face each other than the heavyweights, thus giving the middleweights something the heavyweights lack; a champion.
