KESSLER VS. WARD: Let's discuss!

[FreshOutOfHell]

The other 5 in the super 6? Bute? There still are a few from 3+ years ago that are still top contenders including Bika and Andrade as well

Well, Dirrell and Ward are both in the tourney. I have big respect for both of them, and hope they live up to the expectations, but they haven't arrived at the top of the 168 division just yet.

Taylor, I love the guy, but the results doesn't place im at the top anymore.

Froch and Bute was at the doorstep 3 years ago just like Ward and Dirrell today. Beyer needed to be beat.
IBF champ Lacy was on everbody lips around that time..

168 has been good for some time.

I agree on Ward/Dirrell not being at the top yet. Give credit where Credit's due tho, they're young and untested but as u say they have high expectations.

Not many ppl had Dirrell even going 12 with Froch, When it was all said and done most said he was robbed of the victory.

Taylor aint the same Taylor as he was 3-4 years ago I agree. But he still has the skills to get with any one of these guys. He was beating Froch before the KO and He got with Abraham b4 the KO.

Froch and Bute were at the doorstep as you say 3 years ago, Not saying Dirrell/Ward beat them but the expectations were and higher on the Americans due their Amatuer Backgrounds.

I guess you could say to Hardcore Boxing Fans 168 been good for awhile, but you cant blame me that 168 never got any major airtime a few years ago as opposed to today. Now 168 is one of the hottest out there, **** it's compared to what 147 was Last year imo
