    I'm going for 154. Who do they have that's worth any attention?

    105 - always has been, always will be, but it's ESPECIALLY weak now that Calderon is moving up and Mayol has moved up. But there aren't a whole lot of men in the world who can make 105, and that keeps the talent pool pretty weak. If the higher weights, 154 is probably the weakest.

    The lowest weight division. No one is anorexic or small enough to make the weight.:deal

    Sergei Dzinzurik . It's not the strongest of weight divisions by any means though .

    Minimumweight is pretty poor at the moment , Light-Flyweight the same .

    I don't think Bantamweight is poor , guys like Silence Mabuza , Jhonny Gonzalez , Hasegawa , Wladamir Sidorenko and Tshifhiwa Munyai are all good quality fighters that are good to watch . The problem with the weight is the best aren't fighting each other .

    Light-Heavyweight is reasonably strong with Hopkins , Woods , Erdei , Dawson , Johnson , Tarver , Jones , the two Aussies Green and Briggs , Drews , Garay .

    The fighters at the top of it aren't as good as the Bantamweights(imo) but Light-Heavy does have a good bit of depth which helps make up for the lack of quality at the top . Plus either Calzaghe/Kessler is quite likely to join it soon .

    They should crap this weight and move towards reducing the number of weight divisions. I mean at the lower weights there's a division for every couple of pounds. I mean who the hell knows who fights who at the minimum weight (105) and light flyweight is just about as bad.

    They don't need to go back to the traditional 8 because I think 168 and 154 are worthwhile keeping, but they should consider getting ride of a couple of divisions when the weight difference is minimal.

    The title "minimumweight champion of the world" isn't very impressive, is it? Eagle Kyowa rules that tiny division. He does have 6 ko's but he gets even less respect than Vivian Harris.

    Ya that's not the most macho sounding name I've ever heard.
