    Super middleweight is actually becoming a good division

    To be honest, Plant - Benavidez and Canelo - Ryder were very good fights.

    We also have Morrell around and Bivol should join the party here if he can make 168.

    You're not wrong. Hopefully all this potential doesn't go to waste. I know it's getting harder and harder to take Charlo and Andrade seriously but they would be good opponents for any of the above if they should choose to participate.

      There's so many names and good fighters at 168 - Canelo, Benavidez, Charlo, Andradre, Plant, Dirrell and up and comers like Morrell, Mbilli, they just have to start fighting each other.

      Bivol isn't a 168 fighter, he's a legit Light Heavyweight, he needs to be looking up not down.

        did bivol ever fight below light heavy as a pro?

        if yes, when did that happen?

            No, he’s always been at 175 in the pros

                good to know.

                so asking bivol to fight at 168 when he never fought in that weight class professionally is absurd.

                he should just be patient and wait for these 168 pounders to go up to 175.

                i hate weight bullies who take advantage of the 24 hr rehydration system to stay in weight classes that are so unnatural for them.

                  154 168 and 175 been giving good fights for some time now, sucks they dont get much attention compared to the other divisions.
