    Is 168 an overrated division?

    Srsly this shet is overrated.

    Andre Ward (overrated), Froch (love him but not really that talented), Bika (LOL), Kessler decent.

    What's so great about this division I don't get the hype.

    Bum arse Ward needs to move out of this crappy division seeing as he cleaned it out.

    160 and 168 have about an equal level of talent,yet look at the biggest name in each division,GGG and ward. Ward cleaned out his division years ago,and has still not moved up,yet people are content with him camping out in an empty division. On the other hand,golovkin has yet to unify and clean out his division (Lee,quillin,cotto,possibly lemieux) yet people are screaming for him to move up into another division,where the only real challenges would come from frotch, who could retire any day now,and ward who needs his 2 tune ups. So basically,when he moves up,and walks through the majority of the 168lbs division,people will cry out again,that since he can't get any big names at 168,he should go to 175,because its obvious that GGG is ducking kovalev,Stevenson,and Hopkins.

        168 is a loaded division and many great fights for Andre "S.O.G" Ward, can't wait to see him back in the ring against real contenders unlike Triple Duck.

          Wards career is revolving around GGG moving up in weight to fight him. That's it. It's sad as ****. he should move up and fight Bute, Pascal, Kovalev. That's better than a bunch of bums at 168 pounds.

              Chances of Ward fighting any of those guys... ZERO. He won't fight the Dirrells, Froch, Degale and Groves would want the fight in the UK and Ward doesn't travel. Bika has moved up to LHW. Sturm and Stieglitz would want to fight in Germany. He might be able to get a fight with Abraham. Chavez Jr. is fighting at a LHW catchweight. Really nothing there for Ward at all.

              Ward should move up to LHW where the real competition for him is at.

                Ward hasnt cleaned out ****, he has to face DeGale, Groves if he comes back well and one of the Dirrel brothers and then you can say he's cleared it out.

                  Y'all must have forget


                  ward has his promotional stuff taken care of, once he gets active, y'all will be changing your tune...

                  Ward is one of the top 4 guys in the world,, just wait till he active again..

                  remember when floyd use to take year+ long hiatuses, it didn't effect him at all..
                  ward is the same way

                    I'd like you to name some divisions that are better.

                    Outside of perhaps Welterweight, I'd say it's probably the best division in boxing.
