[goose 5]

Win a World title at 160 ?

Who got belts at 160? Carlos dames announced moving to 168 and Lara have some belt. Anyone else?

Lara is the WBA champ and is about 5 or 6 months away from his once-a-year bout
Adames is the WBC champ but, as noted by Cent0089, has indicated he will move up to 168
Bentley is the brand new WBO champ, having been elevated last week
IBF title is currently vacant, but McKenna and Oliha fight for it August 8
Soro is the IBO champ, if you want to throw that organization in the mix

Damn man 160 lbs is wasteland. I think he should not have a problem to get a title shot. Or joining Zuffa is also option. Btw, did you guys noticed how everybody talking about Spence, how brave he was atc. but no one give credit to Tszyu? That was solid performance IMO

[gregregegg]

Is he going to stay at 160? I thought that was a late change.

Terribly weak division. Boxrec still ranks Michael Zerafa #8, I guess off his big win over Jeff Horn seven years ago. If Tim chooses to fight at 160 he should be able to get a shot against anybody but Lara, who won’t take the chance of fighting anyone competitive

In a post-fight interview, he said 160 is his division and called out Lara.

Nice. theres quite a few decent fights he should win for him at 160... he is obviously financialy viable because spence would of had some huge offers to come back off that long layoff...

Lara, Eubank jr, Zerrafa, mosley jr, bently ... im sure these arnt really the fights most would want for tim, but given he has been in some wars/beatings i wouldent mind trying to get those 5 guys listed in Australia...

160 is definitely wide open to be taken by any decent fighter. I'd think the big names at 154 will soon take over that division as "Middleweight Champion" is a more glamorous title to have than Super Welterweight or Jr. Middleweight Champion.

yea, also fundora being 11 feet tall you would have to think he is going up in weight soon...

Beyond nutritional discipline, I have no idea how Fundora still makes 154. Sure, he's got a beanpole physique, but he is not just some scrawny kid anymore. Although I think it would be interesting to see what he could do with another 5 or 6 pounds on his frame.

Tim Tsyzu will most likely get a title fight, if he keeps winning 'but he has been in this position before, and he has lost most of his biggest fights in his career'.

Note: But nevertheless Tim Tsyzu was under big pressure vs. Errol Spence Junior 'and he won. Even if Spence Junior was miles outside of his peak. Tsyzu still had to keep composure and execute a performance on fight night'.

The 160 pound divisions as others have stated 'is not the most high level divisions right now. So maybe Tim Tsyzu and his team may consider staying and competing in this division' etc.

I figure he'll compete as high as 168 if not 175 before it's all said and done. Provided he continues to have success as he climbs that is. I'd think it's a near certainty he'll be at 160 by the end of the decade. Probably within the next couple of years.

I wonder what he would weigh if he wasn’t making 154… like if for 2 years you said there are no weight divisions, but dont intentionally bulk up just do what feels normal… would he be 200lb?

Or is he just naturally that thin…

His Sister is particularly tall and slender for her weight class as well so maybe that type of physique just runs in the family.
