He is not done at 160, there are no lucrative matches at that weight and I doubt the other champs at 160 will want to unify.

He should have gone after Lara.. Oh well, good luck at 168, there are some good fights for him there, but something tells me it will be his downfall.

[boxing IQ]

He couldn't even finish Ammo.

At best, he's a great B-side to bring out the best in these 168 lb-ers.

Hamzet, mbili, canelo.

Likely get overwhelmed by Mbilli and Martinez. Possibly lose to Sheeraz as I believe Sheeraz is a more natural 168-er. not a big-enough name for Canelo, Pacheco a toss up, likely gets stomped on by Oglesias. Could be in an entertaining fight with Munguia -
what is sure is he makes more money at 168

[SteveM]

I could see Virgil Ortiz contesting a vacant belt at 160 and possibly Fundora moving up to avoid Ennis if Fundora gets by Thurman

Watching the fight with Ammo he looked smaller so he might be a division manlet though he is a high quality fighter and hope he can get some big fights at 32 this is when most althetes decline starts so he doesn't have forever here.

Very good fighter, not great. It will be interesting to see who he goes after at 168. I wanted to see him in with Lara and/or Alimkhanuly.

Great. 160 is even thinner now. This historic division needs an influx of talent.
