    mine are berto-maidana and guerrero-khan.

    Brook deserves to be up with Thurman, yet you have him under Porter, a guy he beat on the road in the United States.

    Welter looks better than previous years, but a lot of people will stop following it because they're fans of Floyd not boxing.

    Berto by all accounts was not at all impressive for starters, Khan has the talent to beat anyone, just a question of whether he can void the big shots, Brook solid fighter doesn't make many mistakes and good with the straight shots, Thurman does look exciting, a few flaws but generally looks a very good fighter, Bradley is a top fighter, been poor recently but maybe that's down to not being able to get motivated to fight lesser opposition than he is used to, Porter is a very exciting fighter and would be a good match for anyone, Maidana is a decent fighter and a test for anyone but he wont do anything special.

    Some young talent coming through too and give it a couple of years and all these guys will be near there peaks and it could be a very good division.

    stacked division no doubt, some potentially great stylistic matchups like Maidana-Berto, Thurman-Brook or even Khan-Bradley

    you didn't see the fight...berto was very impressive.... far more than maidana, folr example, looked against lopez.

    khan was dropped and badly hurt and nearlyh ko'd by diaz and maidana, ko'd by prescott and garcia, beaten by peterson...don't think he's that good.

    brooks looked ok in his jab and grab fest with porter...need to see him again to really know hiis ability.

    maidana has already done good things at ww, beating broner and coming pretty close to knocking khan out...maidana is the real darkhorse in this div...the one to watch...he's a two div champ...gonna be very tough for anyone...

    I have to disagree with you here. I think Berto looked like **** and I actually had him losing every round up until the KO. I think I gave him one round prior... :think

    Brook schooled Porter, took his belt in California while Thurman and Marquez watched on.

    don't know about schooled...but brook did manage to frustrate porter by tying porter up everytime he got on the inside to do work....one of the worst fights of the year and a big disappontment with all the build up behind it...we had seen and heard so much about brooks being a quick handed guy with power...we were expecting fireworks...fight was basically a grabfest.

    Brook has a lot of talent, he beats most of the guys you rank above him like Khan, Berto, Bradley, Guerrero and Maidana. Thurman's a 50-50.

    If Floyd-Pac retired tomorrow, Thurman-Brook would be the big one.
