I think one of the reasons for that Ice is that with the Super-Middleweight division, we now see many fighters who formerly would have been LHWs boiling down to 168.

Let's say you have a division with Kessler, Dawson, Bute, Abraham, Froch, Andrade, Johnson, Hopkins & Taylor. I'm not saying it's on or even near a level with that of the 70s/early 80s, but its still not that bad. In fact, I think only with the current Welterweight divisions can you look at it favourably alongside divisions of the past
