    175 lb division weak or strong?

    Would you consider a 49 year-old in a unification fight as one of this years probably most popular Light Heavyweight matches a sign that the division is weak or strong?

      It's got four good to great fighters, beterbiev, Adonis, hop, kov. That's better than a lot of other divisions. Look at lightweight lol

        No need to try to discredit Kovalev...he did what he had to do and hopefully Stevenson is next

            Not discrediting Kovalev. Amazing performance over the "slick coon"

              Strong but it will be portrayed as weak from this day forth (under foreign control)

                He's no ordinary 49 year old though, is he?

                The division is very strong, but many of the most talented fighters need a few more fights before going for a title.

                Sergey Kovalev, Artur Beterbiev, Eleider Alvarez, Jean Pascal, Vyacheslav Shabranskyy, Egor Mekhontsev (Olympic Gold medal winner), Adonis Stevenson, Marcus Browne, Oleksandr Gvozdyk, Andrzej Fonfara, Vasily Lepikhin, Juergen Braehmer, Medzhid Bektemirov, Erik Skoglund, Isaac Chilemba, Umar Salamov (just turned 21, look him up).

                And I think Andre Dirrell and several others at 168 may soon move up to 175.

                  i don't see the 18-7 cory cummings being a force in the division. he lost to william joppy...just my 2 cents!
