    Nope - I would say the Jr. Middleweight or Heavyweights

    Not the worst. I think the Light Middleweight is the worst division at at the moment.

    Yes, middleweight is also **** poor. Let's not forget Sturm did get jobbed in the mighty US of A, I almost don't blame him for being gunshy

    Good job there are some cracking divisions to make up for these

    Middleweight doesn't have many elite fighters but is stacked with good B level fighters which overall make it decent .

    Bantamweight is a good division with very good fighters , just most of them don't fight each other :-(

    That depends on how harsh your ratings are. I personally don't rate Abraham or Pavlik as anything more than B+ so I'd be hard pushed to call the rest B's

    Winky-Wright is a solid B if he gets down to 160, although my gut feeling is he is slightly past his best, which is why he's a B

    Then you have guys like Sturm, Sylvester, Castillejo who are all OK, but p4p in most divisions they'd be ranked lower

    I think it's a pretty interesting division. Johnson, Jones, Dawson, Calzaghe, Bernard Hopkins, Tarver and Woods are all fighters that interest me.

    Anybody who would call Chad Dawson a "club fighter" doesn't know the first ****in' thing about boxing.

    Light heavy is a pretty lame weight division at present.The worst? I wouldnt say that!

    Cruiser weight is bloody hot. Deep in talent,lots of rising young guns,quite a handful of experienced vet,and a promsing future superstar in the making.

    Light Middle and Heavy are dreadful atm.

    Mayweather should go up to Jr Middle, and David Haye hopefully will save the HW division

    i dont think light middle is that bad:

    Spinks, Forrest, Santos, Alcine, Dziedurik, DLH....that is not a bad division.

    Middle is much worse.
