    Right now in my opinion lightweight is the deepest division talent wise.

    John Murray is a good pressure fighter coming up in the rankings. Not sure how he'll fair against top class opposition because he's quite predictable in cutting the ring off but he's like a machine coming forward and is very entertaining.

    Do you mean in terms of prospect talent? Otherwise, I think it's pretty well established that 147 and 168 are both better divisions than 135.

    I would take 135 thru 147 myself. I am not all that impressed with the depth of talent beyond 147 but that is just my opinion.

    John Murray would kill Kevin Mitchell and I wouldnt even have him on this list.

    He's an entertaining pressure fighter for sure and I would like to see him go for a title shot against Katsidis(probably be full WBO champ soon) or Valero(WBC). Both would be explosive matches and should prove whether he is just another local euro champ like Michael Jennings or a world class fighter.
    Mitchell himself has a fight coming up against Breidis Prescott on the 5th so we'll see what he is made of shortly.
