    If you vote no please specify which you think is the worse.

    Also if you could pick the next great Light Middle Weight for the next 5 years who would it be?

    Yes, it's woeful. To add to its misery the only marquee name in the division is pretty much an irrelevance

    The biggest 'prospect' would be Dzinziruk, who is now 30 odd and who is extremely difficult to market considering he speaks neither English nor German, and offers little reward for his risk

    I wouldn't say that- the Heavyweight division is shaping up. All it needs is some young, exciting talent. Too many old-dogs hanging in there. Oh, and there isn't ONE Heavyweight champion. That doesn't help. But as far as entertaining guys, there are Heavyweights that make fights (Klitschko, Ibragimov, Valuev, Chagaev, PETER (!), ...).

    As for the Jr. Middleweights, their in a weird position. No champion, and a lot of missing talent (De La Hoya moves up/down depending on mood, Spinks lost to Phillips [both perpetual contenders], Wright Moves Up, Mosley Down, Mayweather Down, ... ).

    So sure, the light-middleweight division isn't an a great place right now.
