175 is not a dead division like HBO claims

[BmoreBrawler]

Any division with Chad Dawson as champ and back to back defenses against Tarver CANT be good.

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?

It's not a dead division at all, because there is plenty of good fighters, if you can't see that then you're blind. Lot of good prospects coming up in 175 too, so 175 is going to make some noise in the future.

[Don Johnson]

again, nobody knows these guys and they're all european.There's a long standing american media bias against those types of fighters

[The Buzz]

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

I'd love to see Shaun George fight Johnson, Tarver, Cloud, Mack or Shumenov. Shaun really doesn't care what style anyone is, he just wants to fight everyone.

In terms of style matchups, from easiest to hardest for Shaun:

1)Shumenov
2)Johnson
3)Cloud
4)Tarver
5)Dawson

[The Hammer]

Any division with Chad Dawson as champ and back to back defenses against Tarver CANT be good.

But he should have given Johnson a rematch, and fought his mandatory Diaconu. Those would have been better fights.

[The_Bull]

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

But don't forget my man Beibut Shumenov!

You just had to do it. Bring up a white guy from someplace in Russia nobodys ever heard of.

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.

For me those names make for a pretty dull division

Shumenov has sent letters to George and to Glen Johnson, asking them to fight him.

[2501]

No one knows who the hell any of them are except Glen Johnson...

Exactly, what they meant was its not a division you can make a star of yourself in.

I really doubt any of you would be willing to stay at 175 and continue to fight in obscurity against people least likely to be known by casual fans.

Shumenov isn't white you idiot!
