    175 is not a dead division like HBO claims

    Adrian Diaconu - big puncher, popular in Montreal
    Glen Johnson - old seasoned veteran.
    Hugo Hernan Garay - is a good fighter despite what people say. His fights with Zsolt Erdie are really a thing to watch. A good aggressive fighter.
    Tavoris Cloud - big puncher, hasn't proven much, but better then your typical mandatory.
    Jean Pascal - moved up from SMW, gave Carl Froch a tough fight
    Zsolt Erdei - I don't want to include his name because he's a joke, but he does have wins over Hugo Garay, which were really close fights.

      You're right about it not being a bad division.

      But don't forget my man Beibut Shumenov!

        I bet you are 1 of the 10 people in the world that actually find Paul Williams entertaining.


        Are you also a huge Corey Spinks fan?

            Agreed

            It was ****** of them ****ting on the whole division when they just signed Dawson to a pretty big contract, also I don't get why they **** on Dawson's performance. I thought he did very good besides the two-three rounds he gave away.

            They should have a round robin on Boxing after dark.

            Johnson vs Tarver
            George vs Cloud
            Mack vs Shumenov

              It's not a "dead" division.

              But it isn't nearly as stacked as it was with Hopkins and Calzaghe.

                Paul Williams is very entertaining, and he's nothing like Corey Spinks.

                Spinks is focused on defense and counterpunching, Williams is focused of offense and initiating the action.
