    I'm going to have to say 168 beats out 147. I think Kessler has the talent to be on the p4p list and would favor him against anyone, aside from Calzaghe, at 160, 168, and 175. The rest of the contenders at Super-Middleweight ain't too shabby themselves. Bute, Froch, Mundine, Green, Bika. You also got Librado Andrade and Edison Miranda as gatekeepers. Taylor and Lacy also hovering around. And the talented Andre Dirrell who could possibly be the next Great American boxer.

    135. Juan Diaz, JMM, Nate Campbell, Katsidis, Casa, Anthony Peterson as an up and comer, Romanov and David Diaz isn't bad, same goes for Juilo Diaz. Would have been the clear favorite if Manny was still there.

    168 holds the most exciting fights to come I hope.

    Froch vs Taylor
    Kessler vs Taylor
    Andrade vs Miranda (should be an exciting one!)

    Would have liked to see Pavlik move up for possible fights with Kessler and Froch but looks like this won't be happening for a while now.

    Would like to see them 3 fights.

    That's right I forgot about 135. We'll have to wait and see whether Pacman returns or goes to 140 to fight Hatton after DLH. Casamayor has nothing left to prove. Peterson needs to step it up.

    I would say its easily 175 if you count Calzaghe and BHOp in that division. Then it would be Calzaghe - Bhop - Dawson , thats pretty damn good

    Welterweight and Lightweight are probably the best/most interesting divisions right now.

    I have to after that Bute-Andrade fight. I honestly jumped out of my seat at the end there. I hadn't been that excited watching the end of a 12 rd fight since Marquez-Vasquez 3.

    Bar Dawson all the top fighters at 175 have seen better days, Hopkins, Calzaghe, Tarver, Jones Jr, Johnson, Woods. Quality fighters yes but lacking real stories.

    168 is exciting because it is all up for Grabs, fighters have been positioning themselves waiting for calzaghe to go and we should now get a series of good fights. Kessler, Bute, Taylor, Andrade, Froch, Inkin, Lacy, Mundine, Dirrell, Baiko, plenty of variety in styles and nationalities, and they should all have the ambition to be the top man.
