It's a good division with everyone moving up but still in development phase, far from the best but gaining momentum.
There just isn't anybody in the division that really dominates their competition. The newest additions haven't really fought anybody or gained the necessary experience to be at their very best at 160.
ggg arguably lost to both Canelo, Jacobs, lost every round against Brook, struggled mightily with Ouma.
Canelo was thoroughly out boxed by Mayweather, lost plenty of rounds to Lara and Trout, fought just 1 active career MW.
Jacobs was dropped by Mora, steamrolled by Pirog.
Lemieux was steamrolled by Alcine & Rubio, looked less than impressive vs Rios.
Dereyvachenko only has 11 fights.
Andrade lost plenty of rounds to Culcay and Vanes.
Charlo has 1 fight at the weight against a 1 legged fighter.
In about 2-3 years Canelo, Charlo, Andrade, Derey, Murata, all should all be significantly better. We may even see a guy like Hurd transition to 160 as well.
