    For EVERY division guys, don't get lazy and tell me that you don't watch below feather, because that type of stuff won't fly in here:bart. It's more interesting than it appears on the surface, as by just thinking about it I can envisage such a diverse range of fighters being offered up by you wonderful Brit forumites.

    There's a cacophany of different styles, traits, ability, sizes, etc amongst all seventeen:)verysad) weight classes in the sport, and I'm interested to see who in your opinion possesses the best of the one's listed.

    Feel free to add your own one's if you please, and if you feel you don't know enough about a certain division than just throw any old name down, nobody here will think any less of you.:D

    Great work LeaderOfSports and rooq!:good

    I'll start mine now.

    By the way, we can do it by last weight a fighter has fought at as long as they don't have one lined up at another weight. For instance, Mijares and Narvaez are no longer super flyweights, but Nashiro still is.

    And if I don't see Leo Santa Cruz unanimously rated as number 1 prospect at either super fly or bantam(either will do as he hasn't committed to one).......................:rosstheboss
