Reply #11: The 168-pound division is so underrated. [View All]

The Super-middleweight division is probably the most underrated in boxing. This is probably because it is filled with European and Australian fighters. That and most fans in the US have never seen them fight. This division has Jeff Lacy, Joe Calzaghe, Marcus Beyer, Mikkel Kessler(considered by some to be the best in the division), Vitali Tsypko, and Scott Pemberton. If Lacy beats Calzaghe, which is not guaranteed, I would like to see him fight Kessler and Pemberton. Hell, there is a chance that Pemberton could be WBC champ by the end of the year because he is fighting Danny Green in a Eliminator fight and Beyer has to defend the belt 180 days after the conclusion of the eliminator. So, as I see it, Lacy would have every reason to fight Pemberton, that is if Pemberton wins. Mikkel Kessler is the WBA champ right now, as well. Lacy taking these fights would be great because they are unification bouts. these are the kind of fights that Showtime wants. Hopefully, they can make it happen.
