    I'd probably swap 4 and 5 but apart from that solid list.

    The heavies have 4 very good fighters around the top - no way are they bottom. The heavies are now pretty strong at the top.

    I'm not sure about stone bottom, but maybe a bit lower.

    Cruiser weight is a very hot division at present-lots of promising young talents,former amateur stars,and good contenders can be found at cruiser weight.

    Macca,Kraj,Fragomeni,Godfrey,Hide,Huck,Drozd,Suda,Banks,
    Arslan,Guillermo Jones,Wlodarczky,Adamek,Cunningham,Tokarev,Ismailov,the young Cuban Hernandez,Alexander Frenkel,Mormeck,Brudov,rising shooting star Licina,and so on ........................... .

    To top it all Alexeev campains at cruiser weight. Alexeev,a former amateur star with murderous pop in his fists,is one of the most promising and talent fighters of all weight divisions in the paid ranks.

    Cruiser weight is a bloody interesting and exciting weight division.A pity that it is often overlooked by a lot of box aficionados.
    Cruiser has a bad reputation due to the lack of talent it suffered from for ages. However,there has been a huge influx of capable fighters within the last 3-4 years.

    Lightweight is 1st by a mile IMO, it has the world no 1 and 2 p4p fighters, plenty more quality boxers, and a couple of excellent superfeathers who will surely come up shortly.

    Beat me to it.

    I would rank it at the very bottom.

    1 - Hasegawa
    2 - Moreno
    3 - Sidorenko
    4 - Mabuza
    5 - Penalosa
    6 - Agbeko
    7 - Mares
    8 - Malinga
    9 - Vasquez
    10 - Perez

    Thats a damn weak division IMO; a couple of decent operators, and a very good prospect in Mares, but no one whose threatening the P-4-P top 10.
