    Who's your favorite active fighter in each weight class? Here's my list;

    HW- Eddie Chambers. I don't really like the HW division, so I'll go with Chambers seeing as how he fights out of Philly

    CW - Steve Cunningham. Another Philly guy. He took a tough loss against Adamek and made too many mistakes. However, he did a lot of things that I liked. He showed a lot of heart and he would've gotten the decision if he would've avoided those knockdowns.

    LHW - Chad Dawson. Normally, Hopkins would get the nod here. However, I think he's going to retire. Therefore, Chad now gets the nod. I always enjoy watching Chad fight. He can do pretty much anything in that ring.

    SMW - Andre Dirrell. He's a little rough around the edges. However, he's very fast, and punches well with both hands

    MW - Kelly Pavlik. I didn't like all the excuses after the Hopkins loss. However, it was his first loss so I'll look past it. Pavlik is a tough kid both mentally and physically. He'll come back strong and continue to dominate at MW

    JMW - James Kirkland. Tough Call between Kirkland and Williams. However, I favor Kirkland a little bit more. This Kid is tough as nails and loves to fight. I also believe he's more skilled than given credit for. I think he'll beat up Julio in a couple of weeks

    WW - Andre Berto. He still has a lot to learn. However, I like the kids speed, power, and attitude.

    JWW- Lamont Peterson. I grew to really like he and his brother from their FNF days

    LW - Anthony Peterson. See above

    SFW - Robert Gurerro. One of the most underrated fighters out there. Great combination of offensive exlposiveness as well as a sound defense.

    FW- Yuriorkis Gamboa. I've tried to stay off the bandwagon, but this guy is just too fun to watch.

    SBW - JuanMa Lopez. Eeriely similar to Tito. This kid has freekish power.

    BW - Joseph Agbeko. He's the only guy in this division that I've seen and enjoy watching

    Super Flyweight - Nonito Donaire. Excellent fighter. Great combo of speed and power.

    FW - Koki Kameda

    LFW - Ivan Calderon. Best pure boxer in the sport.

    Minimum weight - **** this division
