    What about Bute at 168 and Guzman at 135? Also you can't mix in Winky with the super middles as he will never move up and Pavlik and Abraham haven't yet so I wouldn't include them either.

    Super-bantam is packed with talent aswell, Israel Vasquez, Rafael Marquez, Steve Molitor, Celestino Caballero, Juan Manuel Lopez, Daniel Ponce De Leon, Jhonny Gonzalez.

    In my opinion, provided he gets in the ring again after he fights Roy, Calzaghe can beat anybody in or around his division. Taylor is still a world class operator, but he doesn't have the confidence he had in his early days. Pavlik is there to be outboxed as is AA, and Miranda is no longer a factor.

    As long as Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao keep winning, I just think they'll clear out division on their way to be a third bout. I hope so, anyhow. Amir Khan has no future in the division. He is being knocked down by C level fighters, how do you think he'll react to being hit by Katsidis, Marquez, and Pacquiao? It'd be a demolition job.

    The welterweight division is the hardest to access I think. Technically, Cotto is the more established fighter with Judah and Mosley past their best, and Mayweather out of the picture. Williams is still very much in there along with Cotto, Margarito, and Berto. Berto for me though is another world class operator who will not be able to take shots from the likes of Judah and Cotto. He won't be dominating the division because of that reason.

    All three of these divisions are the ones standing out in boxing right now.. I like all three of them.. If I had to choose, it'd probably be the lightweight division followed closely by he welterweight division, and then the middleweight.. All have exciting top rate fighters nonetheless though..

    Povided they face each other and make the fights it would be good for boxing the fans, but as always not even a third of these fight will ever be made everyone will angle to cherry Pick

    Two notable exceptions are Cotto and Pavlik who fight whatever oppponet is put in front of them. Too bad its the casual fan who can make these fights possible the hardcore matchups the real fan wants to see dont mean a thing they already have us.....its a a pity the average Joe down the block has no clue what a good matchup and its sad Boxing isnt Main stream anymore

    its why they are trying to feed us Calzaghe Jones....in my gut I feel there is as much money to be made if not more for a Pavlik fight vs Joe. It defies all logic that anyone cannot see Pavlik vs Slappy is the better fight ah well.
