    Ring Magazine 168lbs

    No holder of this belt has ever been defeated. 103-0

    Now THAT'S proper representation of a division.

    Interesting point. Callum Smith is certainly stepping into some big shoes. Who else has held it? Joe Calzaghe. Did Andre Ward hold it?

      He did indeed.

      168 has really embedded itself as a stand up division in boxing.

        Give Callum a few fights. He's no Calzaghe or Ward.

              I don't think Smith will hang around long at 168 either, maybe unify then move up. Being late 20's he'll struggle to make weight very soon IMO.

                  Because it’s a pointless stopgap division between two big money divisions

                    He’s a bum

                    David Benavidez and El Zurdo would work his ass over.
