    I think 168 is one of the better divisions but agree that it can be overrated.
    Middleweight, has GGG, Quilin, but maybe a bit light on the ground after that, but you got guys like Lemieux, Jacobs and Eubank Jr all looking good coming back after defeats.

    But you may have an argument with this division.

    Light-Heavy, I disagree, some real quality with Stevenson and Kovalev and you good guys like Beterbiev blasting through the ranks.

    Some exciting times in the division.

    Super Middle is dying. Ward not fighting, Froch going to retire, no is stepping up to the plate.

        It's a good division but it's massively overrated by media and fans alike. I think must people overrate the division in order to justify Ward as #2 pound for Pound.

        But like I said it's a good division but no better than Middleweight, Light Heavyweight, or Featherweight. It's just a division with a lot of popular fighters that fans translate to being a strong division.

          It's just an average division. Ward and Froch are very good and there are some other decent fighters in that weight class. I don't think the overall quality is quite as good as the middleweights with GGG and some other good fighters. The light heavyweights have two killers in Kovalev and Stevenson but not much depth. !68 is not that good but not that bad either.

            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.
            Ward overrated but Kessler decent? God these forums are full of idiots.

              Overrated in the sense he's not top 3 p4p and certainly not or never will be capable of being #1

                Featherweight is the 2nd best division out there at the moment, and after Pacquiao and Floyd retire it will be the best.

                    The middleweights

                    If he didn't go bat **** crazy and get arrested, Jermain Taylor would be a champion in that division right now.

                      Ward overrated and semi-retired and Kessler is just retired. How about we discuss active boxers instead? You know, the ones who actually get in the ring and fight each other?
