    I see Bradley, Alexander, Maidana, Khan, and Ortiz as giving any of each other a hell of a fight. And the fact that they all seem to be not only willing but eager to face each other is incredible. Maidana has won even more respect from me in his loss. He is incredibly tenacious, atrocious, and vicious...I can't believe he got up from that body shot. Khan has proven that he is able to weather a tough storm and that he still needs some work technically, but he has the physical goods to be at the top.

    Every one of these guys are very good, yet they have all demonstrated vulnerabilities and weaknesses at one time or another. This is ONE exciting division, and as a boxing fan I can't wait to see these guys face each other. None of them should have shame in losing to one another, and I personally believe one of each may have the other's number in one match or another!

    I think bantamweight is. Followed closely by 140. Middleweight will be the best in 12 months.

    Maybe but not because they are all great talents. But because they are on a similar level.

    Sorry, I think 140 is unremarkable. 118 and 168 are much more interesting .

    Definitely. JWW has the most talented group in any division and anyone can win it. 118 isn't far behind and I'd say it's on par. 168 has had great fights, but the playing field is not so even as it is at 118 or 140.

    Are we forgetting there are two guys at 147 that are a head and shoulders above everyone else in the sport? 140 may be more competitive but it's not because the fighters are better.

    Include underated Lamont Peterson in the mix. Or even Marquez if he has balls enough to join the party. :lol:
