Who will be the man at 175 now?

[Mammoth]

Barrera? Jack? Superman? Gvozdyk?

A WBSS would settle all this...

[BrometheusBob.]

Idk but someone other than Adonis I'm sure

He'd have a good shot... He just doesn't care...

[Madison Boxing]

artur beterbiev.

[NEETzsche]

Jack vs Bivol for the WBA, Beterbiev vs Koelling for the IBF, Gvozdyk vs Barrera for the WBO. Then Stevenson and Jack can unify on Showtime and Beterbiev and Gvozdyk can unify on ESPN

Edit: Somehow forgot about Kovalev. Could be Beterbiev vs Gvozdyk for the IBF with ESPN/Top Rank and Kovalev vs Barrera for the WBO with HBO/Main Events. Although it's generally more common for Top Rank fighters to target the WBO

[The Big Dunn]

Stevenson was the man before Ward got to 1175 and still is the Lineal champ despite the fact he barely fights.

I can see him and badou fighting. Badou will prob win and be lineal. agree with NEEtzche Beterbiev vs Koelling for the IBF, Gvozdyk vs Barrera for the WBO

[DuckAdonis]

I hope Badou Jack does, he deserves it

[BrometheusBob.]

He'd have a good shot... He just doesn't care...

Idk man, dude is a fossil. Big puncher no question.

But it's a loaded division. Barrera, Gvozdyk, Beterbiev, Jack... idk which fights he'd be favored to win of those

[BrometheusBob.]

Jack vs Bivol for the WBA, Beterbiev vs Koelling for the IBF, Gvozdyk vs Barrera for the WBO. Then Stevenson and Jack can unify on Showtime and Beterbiev and Gvozdyk can unify on ESPN

Oh I forgot about Bivol

Dam this division is heat

And we're getting Kovalev-Shabranskyy, winner of that could be in the mix too

[Eff Pandas]

I think its up for grabs. I legit could see several guys running the division in the immediate future or a couple years down the road. Hell I think if Kovalev didn't get mindf#cked he could even rise back up to the main guy. I think I'd bet against it cuz I tend to lean towards him being mindf#cked, but I could envision it with how wild open the division just got.

If pressed to pick I think I'd probably go with The Nail being the guy, but my favorite guy is Artur Beterbiev & if he's still 80% of what he's last showed us I think he could easily usurp The Nail or anyone else in the division if he touches them. Big rooting interest in Badou Jack too. I think that cat has just worked hard & just kept moving forward despite all the naysayers which all I can do is respect. Stevenson can still punch. Hell Marcus Brown keeps winning & is young. Bivol is maybe the most talented young guy close to a belt so he might be the best pick now for the guy running the division in a couple years, or sooner, if he pans out.

175 is extremely interesting now with the gap left by Ward & I'm rooting on the WBSS covering this division in 2018 (hopefully on f#cking US TV).
