    I'm not too sure, Heavy is getting better then it was. Don't forget you got guys like Toney who don't even make the ten. It's not great but none of those divisions listed are booming with talent at the mo.

    which only demonstrates that HW is lame as **** right now...

    Middleweight out of all those choices is where it's at right now...

    Pavlik, AA, Sturm, Marquez...there's another guy im forgetting...


    the strongest division by far is WW though...seriously...

    light heavy. Dawson, Hopkins, Calzaghe. You could have those guys in the top 10 P4P and nobody would complain.

    Heavyweight lol? You mean the same division where a 300lb 5'10 72 inch reach James Toney could probably beat half of the guys in the top 10? Nonsense.

    Yes, by far. By far the weakest.

    Currently they rank like this:

    1. SMW
    2. LHW
    3. HW
    4. MW
    5. CW (Haye left a dead division)

    Heavyweight has two of the best fighters of any of these with the Klitschko's, and then Povetkin and Haye I rate too. But it's not really competitive, because the brothers won't fight and easily have the beating of the rest.

    Cruiserweight is a very competitive division where guys can all beat each other, but no star quality as yet. Perhaps Alexeev can be, but it will take some time with his style for him to be appreciated.

    LHW is good. Dawson, Calzaghe, Hopkins are all around top 10 p4p. Cloud and maybe Diaconu are interesting. Johnson is still good. Very good division, how many fights we'll actually get between the big guns, probably not many.

    SMW is youthful and exciting. Kessler, Taylor, Bute is still a good fighter and Froch up and coming. Andrade can test anybody. Maybe Abraham will be here soon too.

    I would say middleweight is the weakest here. Pavlik and Abraham are both good, but have severe limitations. Pavlik's have already been ruthlessly exposed, and Abraham's will be soon enough. They make a great fight together, but nobody else in the division challenges them. The depth is beyond awful in this division.

    If pushed I would say LHW has the best fighters, but if they ain't gonna fight it hardly matters. I'm most interested in cruiserweight because I see some great competitive fights.
