    Just looking at the contender in lightweight division and its freaky to see how much talent is in one division, and yet I say therez "only 4 titles to be won"

    Juan Manuel Marquez (no need to justify this guy)

    Manni Pacquiao (not totally sure which division)

    Juan Guzman (very very skill full and undefeated)

    Nate Campbell (this guy is a spoiler, beat juan diaz)

    Juan Diaz (Fights like a machine, breaks you down and fun to watch)

    Amir Khan (very talented, fast hand speed + brittle chin = fun to watch)

    Micheal Katsidas (Like diaz he is a machine and great to watch)

    Marco Antonio Barerra (ATG, we'll see what happens)

    Edwin Valero (super puncher and dangerous, has flaws but we'll see)

    Anthony Peterson (great prospect, can he succeed in this division?)

    Ali funeka (Great physical tools, like paul williams tjis guy is very good)

    Breidis Prescott (has that 1 punch knockout, but is developing boxing skill)

    Joel Casamayour (Slick, crafty vetran. very good technically)

    Alex Arthur (british top feather weight moved up)

    Yuri Romanov (beat thaxton, not sure about him)

    Well, with PacMan and Campbell moved up to 135, it's a bit weaker. I'm not at all impressed with Peterson, Prescott, Arthur or the most recent Barrera. Khan has this horrible chin issue. Other than that, it's a pretty solid division, and you can add Barrios to the list.

    LWW is shaping up too with now Ortiz, Campbell and Pacquiao joining the elite. Zab is moving down, Maidana is a very good new fighter in the top10, you have Bradley, Holt, Urango, Torres, Witter, Alexander, Kotelnik and of course Hatton.

    Very good division...JMM and Campbell and Pac are all up at 140 now...

    I think the division is up for grabs...Joel or Juan Diaz!!! David Diaz can still be good along with the others!

    Pacquiao and Campbell moved up to 140 and I guess Marquez is planning to.
