Super Middleweight was/is a safehouse wasteland designed to favor the lacking.

Are you saying Bootay, Andrade, and Kessler are the cream of the crop of Boxing?...lol

and don't get upset now...no need to call me a moron...I'm not a Calzaghe lover.....I like the Klitschkos, in fact....and Abraham...and Darchinyan...a fighter doesn't HAVE to be from America for ME to like them...

Kessler is overrated...and he had a close fight wiht Roy Jones..but Jones is wayyyyyyyyyyyy past it. Anyways 168 for good fighters at least is a stepping stone to 175...just like the Cruiserweight division

[The C.E.O.]

How can something be created for another country when it started here, doesnt make any sense. It was because a few states recognized it as Junior Light Heavyweight at first and then it caught on, it started in the states, there is 15 pounds in between middle and light heavy.

It makes perfect sense...Boxing is a Worldwide sport...and the lesser countries and their fighters needed a division they could go compete in and win titles...

Kessler is overrated...

Kessler is VERY overrated...the best he will be is a B+ fighter...that is if his loss against Calzaghe wasn't the pinnacle of his career, and he develops....lol

there's always something sinister happening in the supermiddle division.

sven ottke's whole career.
joe calzaghe's whole career.
both have 21 title defenses against mostly unranked bums. shows how hard it is to get to 21 when you fight push overs in your homeland.

bute-knocked out but his paid off ref let him survive.
inkin- lost to zuniga but fight was in germany so you know how that goes.
kessler fought sartisson to get his worthless belt and is on the missing persons list.
froch is just a funny guy who thinks calzaghe will fight him but he's obviously off his rocker.

Oh yeah....definitely.

and you know what else is funny?...I completely forgot about Ottke...again.

I swear....I NEVER acknowledge his existence every time I talk Boxing....lol

but that's right...Sven Ottke...a grand champion of the heralded, 168 pound division.

The threadstarter's only half right. No doubt SMW is a terrible division, but so are MW and LHW. There isn't a single good division in boxing MW and above anymore, because 100% of the elite athletes who are big enough to go to the NFL or NBA do that instead.

Maybe we'll get lucky and get another Roy Jones soon, but it'll just be one guy here, one guy there. The days of consistent division-wide quality in the upper weight divisions are gone, at least until society changes and the best athletes start boxing again.

[The C.E.O.]

Traditionally....from '84 to the present day...where do the best fighters and competition hang their hat between the 3 divisions I'm referring to..?

I'm 1000% right.

HAHA the racist black man is making excuses again

If I got a dime for everytime I heard the weak football excuse I would be a millionaire

You Americans have gone soft. American is a soft laid back country, the fighters are spoiled and lazy.

Europeans are stronger, hungrier and more determined than you Americans
