how much credit does someone get for unifying one of the weakest devsion?

[therealpugilist]

160 is very weak devison and one of the most political screwd up devsion

GGG has never fought a champion and probaly wont fight the other main guys peter jacobs etc ..

If he does beat david lex what does it do for his career?

not much


Quillen cant make the weight, Cotto isn't a moonlighting as a middleweight so I hop Canelo wins, Lemieux is exciting but limited skill wise


Unifying at 160 will be him just doing what he is supposed to as the MONSTER of his divison

[SilverMiles]

The strengths of a division is all based on opinion. There are the rare exception but when comes to divisions like Middleweight, Super Middle, Lighy Heavy, And Crusierweigt there's no difference.

Popularity doesn't equal better fighters.

I think GGG deserves credit for unifying the division if he eventually does so. I just don't like it when he and his groupies use 'unifying the division" to justify why he isn't moving up to fight Ward when he clearly didn't have a problem going up to 168 for other fighters.

Ward is fighting tune ups, dip****.
He was never going to fight GGG in Oct.
Ward MIGHT fight in Nov(maybe) and that will be a tune up.

I'm not hugely impressed with belts in general these days. Seldom is any divisions 4+ world champions a murderers row. And I kinda see unifying more about your promoters power to be able to line that up than your talent. A lot of talent guys have only held one title when they were the force in a division. Obviously its not a bad thing & its not unimpressive, but I believe it to be an overrated boxer accomplishment & an underrated promoter accomplishment.

If he is able to fight all the current champions and beat them, he deserves all the credit in the world because it's not his fault that the division is weak. But the real question is if he unifies the MW division then what next?

Super Middleweight was overrated looking back on it, Ward became the GOAT for unifying that division.

[IMDAZED]

Lots and lots. Making title defenses and being undisputed? How often do you see that?

He'll get a fair amount of credit for it. If it was so easy to do it would have been done. Martinez, Sturm, Geale and all those other belt holders couldn't do it.

Geale unified the WBA and IBF titles but vacated to fight Mundine instead of GGG.

[mathed]

Super Middleweight was overrated looking back on it, Ward became the GOAT for unifying that division.

Seriously, I mean who is left out of that bunch, Abraham and Ward? Dirrell faked his career away and Ward wanted no parts of him and vice versa. Taylor is a retired crazy man now, Froch retired, Kessler retired, and Abraham has fought the same opponent 23 times in a row while hiding out in Germany collecting checks.

[daggum]

yes because quillin and jacobs are the "main guys" because they fight on pbc....
