    Are you ****ing kidding me 175 is the real glamorous division, not 147

    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

    147 is overrated, I always said that over the last 3 years.

    Now that Floyd and Manny (partially) are gone, it's just another division to me.

    154, 175 are far deeper.

    Hell, HW is also more interesting, better I would say.

    Wlad, Wilder, Josh, Fury, Parker is a better hand than Spence, Garcia, Brook, Thurmann, Porter IMO

      You are right. 147 isn't bad but it's far from great. It's lukewarm.

        ...What? That's the whole damn reason on why it matters. If you cheat to win then it's not a legitimate win.

          Historically welter, middle and heavy appear to have been the most exciting and glamouros, whilst I hold LH in higher regard than welter right now I still hold welter as a lofty division, it's not stacked but it has depth to a certain degree, just ain't no Russians in there for you to menstruate over is there, probably a good thing as a Ukrainian would just along and have to beat them into submission before your heart broken eyes.

            175 is a great division. that and 160 are the hottest divisions right now

              That's exactly what I've said, you dumb **** lol. I don't say welter is weak, I've said it's not the most stacked division like some people pretend. It's good to know that you agree

                I wasn't agreeing with you I was just correcting you and setting you straight due to your handicap.

                  Welter for me is a deeper division than middle, name the top guys who can genuinely compete against the elite level boxer currently the no.1 at middle, Jacobs and Canelo ? Not very deep considering the widely held belief GGG is better than both, who else is there ? Charlo hasn't fought a solitary fight there yet, we don't know his level and we're not going off of prospective talent.

                    Correcting me how? You said the same thing - 147 is a good division but not the best. That doesn't look like correcting. Where I was wrong?
