    Completely agree. 147lb is a complete dream division.

    122 is the best imo.

    147, 154 and 168 are also brilliant.

    Heavy, Cruiser, 175 and 130 are ****ing dire.

    Heavyweight: Great champions in Klitschko & Klitschko. I think Povetkin is on browed time. No real contenders who can beat either Klitschko. There are some very promising prospects. Best: Wald Klitschko Future Best: Seth Mitchel
    Overall: Top heavy at the top, with good prospects in the wings. Not the best curent division
    Light Heavyweight: Despite the loss to Ward Dawson, he's a very good boxer. I think Hopkins can outbox agresive types, but not boxers.
    Best: Chad Dawson Future Best: Isaac Chilemba.
    Overall: Not the best

    Super Middleweight: Andre Ward is among the best boxers in the world. However He's pretty much cleaned out 168. Guys like Kelly Pavlik and Andre Dirrell can make things intresting.
    Best: Ward Future Best: Edwin Rodriguez

    Middleweight: This division has a lot of potentional. Sergio Martinez is a top 5 pound for pounder. Peter Quillin and Gennady Golovkin are going to be on pound for pound lists soon. Pirog and Geale are solid champions. I wouldn't count Chavez Jr out.
    Best: Martinez Future Best:Quillin and Golovikin.
    Overall: among the best.

    Junior Middleweight: Floyd Mayweather leads an outstanding group of boxers. Saul Alvarez is a future star. Austin Trout is an under the radar talent. Erislandy Lara despite a cupple of bumps in the road is among the more talented boxers. Miguel Cotto is a great over acheiver. A lot of talent here.
    Best: Mayweather Future Best: Alvarez
    Overall: Among the best.

    Welterweight: Another outstanding division. I'm assuming that Mayweather is a Light Middleweight, not a welterweight. Timothy Bradley is an outstanding boxer, he dose lack power. Manny Pacquiao who was edged by Bradley contunes his raivaly with Juan Manuel Marquez. Winner may get Mayweather. Don't sleep on Andre Berto.
    Best: Bradley Future best: Berto.
    Overall: very good.

    Darchinyan nothing more than a gate keeper OH ****ing please.

    Have you seen the mans resume It shits on and I mean shits on anyone else resume at 168 and Darchinyan because of age is ranked 10 at 122.

    Kessler is at 175 not 168 and when Froch and Bute are the next best 2 at 168 it makes me think its very overrated.

    160 shits on 168 let alone
    122
    147
    154

    Junior Welterweight: This past 5-10 yearts may be the best era in 140 history. Juan Manuel Marquez is moving to welterweight. Danny Garcia, Lamont Peterson and Brandon Rios are all good young boxers. Amir Khan is in a do or die fight with Carlos Molina. Some good vetrens Zab Judah and Lucas Martin Matthysse add to a very intresting division.
    Best: Garcia Future best: Rios
    Overall: An exciting weight class.

    Lightweight: The winner of Adrien Broner/Antonio DeMarco is going to get a huge bost. I don't think anyone else is their that is going to make a big impact.
    Best: DeMarco Future best: Broner.

    122, 140, and 160 all have great potential fights that can be made.

    122 is my favorite
    154 Mayweather, Alvarez, Cotto, Lara, Molina, Martirosyan, Kirkland, Trout
    160 Martinez, Golovkin, Pirog, Geale, Sturm, Chavez Jr, Macklin, Quillin, etc...

    I don't like the guys at 140 that much to be honest. It's a good division, but it looks better than it really is because most names in the top 10 are well known guys... that are on the decline or overhyped I would say.
