    It's up there.

    Good thing too, couple years ago it was dreadful. Just Chad Dawson beating up old men.

    Remove Pascal from the list. He is shopworn and a has been at this point.

    I like Pascal. I think Kovalev makes everybody look shop worn.

    I think flyweight is still the best because light heavyweight doesn't have two p4p'ers in it's ranks. You have Estrada and Gonzalez at flyweight. In addition, a plethora of other talented fighters.

    I thought cruiserweight was the second most talented, but at this point, I think light heavyweight overtakes it.
