    Exactly, the divsion is full of talent if anything 154 is one of the most overlooked divisions. It doesn't get the exposure it should get.

    Cruiser

    Whos even there anymore?????????? Adamek's gone, maybe if B-Hop went to cruiser. That would make Heavy the weakest. Take the Klitchko's out and u'll realise that HW division is bumville

    really?!?! This division is a bit like LMW IMO, just highly underrated at the moment as there are no STAR names but a lot of talented fighters.

    The oldies (Johnson, Hopkins, Woods, Tarver, Erdei).

    Dawson, Pascal, Cloud, Shumenov, Garay, Cleverly, Diaconu (all my but Diaconu are 28 or under).

    Then the second tier: Henry, George, Mack, Campillo (although he is champ), Lacy (could be top tier), Braehmer.

    middleweight is real weak now abrahams up at smw in the super six. pavliks no.1 and in his last big fite he took a pasting, sturm is gettin by on disputed decisions and hes undisputed no.2. Everyone else has little name in the game and its, not cos theyre jus not known, theyre not very good either.

    cruiser is decent right now but MW looks pathetic with Strum as paper champ and Pavlik the only real top level fighter in the entire division now that AA moved up.

    Middleweight weight at least has a clear champion.

    Cruiser. Inactivity amongst the top guys (Adamek and a couple others notwithstanding), the fights not getting made, people using it as a stepping stone...the potential was there, but I feel comfortable saying it's weaker than Middleweight (which has some good prospects on the way up if people bothered to notice) and Heavyweight.

    Cruiser is, and has been, pathetic. Adamek's a warrior. The rest aren't even up to FNFs level.

    154 seems like it is a catch-weight division form the small guys moving up.

    Middleweight might be the worst. There are no interesting match ups in that division. Kelly Pavlik is the only good fighter there, unless PWill moves up then he will make it a little bit more interesting.

    Cruiserweight at least has Adamek, Cunningham, Jones, Huck, and may'be even Hopkins.

    Heavyweights are getting interesting now with David Haye, Arreola, Chambers, and Johnson.

    Junior Middleweight has talent as well. Martinez, Williams, Cintron, Dzinziruk, Angulo, and looking in on the outside is James Kirkland.

    The Flyweights and Super Flyweights are very bad. It's basically Vic Darchinyan and Nonito Donaire and that's it. I would say the Flyweight division because Donaire is moving up to Super Flyweight and I'm assuming Darchinyan will go back to Super Flyweight as well. So yea I'm going with the Flyweight division as the weakest division in Boxing.
