    HW (unlimited) Klitschko
    LH (175) Calzaghe vs Dawson would decide this. Im going with Calzaghe
    MW (160) Pavlik-Abraham would decide it. im thinking Pavlik
    WW (147) Cotto-Mayweather. Cotto would take it IMO.
    LW (135) Campbell is the man right now.
    FW (126) JMM. I would like to see him face Chris John for it. IN THE US!!
    BW (118) Vasquez or Marquez. Whoever can make the weight.
    FLW (112) Well i would say Donaire since Mijares is at 115. If he got down in weight then Mijares.


    Honorable mentions.
    Pac - under this scenario he is a man without a weight class. 135 would be too strong for him and 126 would be too low for him.
    Antonio Margarito - 2 very good fighters at the top.
    Hatton - Well he sux but so does 140 so he can rule that for now but nothing under the circumstances of the thread.
    Kessler - Calzaghe is his kryptonite.
    Guzman - Not enough power to bother the boys at LW and i doubt he can cut the weight to meet FW. On the same boat as Pac.
    Calderon - great skill but way too small.

    Hatton cant make 135. He would be dead during the fight even if he somehow managed to make it. And we all know how he stacks up at WW.

    I wish they'd return to the original 8 weight classes, maybe keeping cruiser along with them.

    Think of all the fights that don't get made now that would if there were fewer weight classes and fewer alphabet titles.

    What a **** show.

    Your asking for too much^
    How about just drop every organization and have one main one.
    Also the champion has to fight 3 times a year and face a top 5 contender.

    That would make for the best matchups at all times.
