That's real, just look at who's on top
You have Andre Ward and he's considered to be master technician by a lot of fans. Like him or not, but he cleaned out 168 division, doesn't matter if his tactics were illegal or not, the fact remains
You have Kovalev, you have Stevenson and with that left he has a chance against anybody, any fighter with that kind of power has a chance against anybody
And now you have a lot of talented fighters who doesn't have a belt yet.
Beterbiev with that abnormal power. Gvozdyk has speed
and footwork advantage against almost every fighter at 175. Bivol's punches are not as devastating but he's very accurate with his shots and good timing too
You have Joe Smith, who's the dark horse of the division. Sullivan Barrera with solid amateur background. Eleider Alvarez too, that's 9 great fighter in the division
Even second-tier guys like Pascal, Shabranskyy, Gonzalez, Chilemba would be good wins for any resume
You see a lot of skilled fighters who can punch real hard in that weight class, except for Alvarez and Ward
And what you have at 147?
Pacquiao is on his way out
Amir Khan? I wouldn't be surprised if dude gets dropped if the wind is strong on a bad weather day, he must be training in the gym with closed windows. The type of guy who can get traumatized if he gets hit with a pillow by his wifey on the honeymoon, having doctors putting oxygen mask on his face, wet paper chin
Kell Brook can't get past metal detectors in the airports now
Shawn Porter is not as skilled as half of these LHW's
Who else? Broner?
Thurman and Spencre are the only fighters that this division has to OFFER. Maybe Crawford if he moves up...And even if he does, that won't make 147 better than light heavyweight
