    Pacquiao can easily make the weight.

    Tim Bradley is undefeated and seems to be the real deal.

    Amir Khan is a skillful fighter and a brutal KO waiting to happen...and is just as hardcore on Twitter as he is in the ring...

    Ricky Hatton may be back a few more times to bring us some excitement.

    Devon Alexander is on the way up and is trying to unify next month.

    Paulie Malignaggi adds some slickness and serious trash-talking ability to the lineup...

    Juan Urango     is a big strong titleholder who shouldn't be underestimated.

    Kendall Holt     is still there...

    Marcos Maidana is a devastating puncher who should be getting a title shot soon...if Khan survives long enough.

    Andreas Kotelnik     is there for up-and-coming boxers to take advantage of...

    Juan Manuel Marquez still has plenty of fight left in him...

    Edwin Valero needs no introduction...


    I don't see how any of these guys can go wrong matchmaking-wise. There's so much talent, experience, and potential in this division. It's currently my second favorite in boxing (next to SMW).

    You forgot Victor Ortiz
    that guy Maidana is fighting.
    Lamont Peterson

    This and the 154 lb division will be taking over the 147 and 168lb division soon.

    agreed. very exciting division right now. there should be enough big fights in this division to keep us entertained for a while. on top of that, it wouldnt surprise me in the least if one of...if not both...gamboa/juanma wind up there in a couple years. gamboa seems like he could definetly support the weight. he's built like a brick shithouse for a little guy.

    yeah, my first thought was where is the Peterson Brothers (Anthony Moving to 140lbs).
