As the title says, name your top 5 boxers by weight class if we still used the old-school divisions. Mine: Heavyweight Wladimir Klitschko Vitali Klitschko Alexander Povetkin David Haye Ruslan Chagaev Light Heavy Chad Dawson Andre Ward Lucien Bute Arthur Abraham Bernard Hopkins Middleweight Kelly Pavlik Sergio Martinez Paul Williams Winky Wright Sergei Dzinziruk Welterweight Manny Pacquiao Floyd Mayweather Shane Mosley Tim Bradley Andre Berto Lightweight JMM Edwin Valero Amir Khan Ali Funeka Humberto Soto Featherweight Chris John Juanma Lopez Yuriorkis Gamboa Celestino Caballero Rafa Marquez Bantam Hozumi Hasegawa Poonsawat Kratingdddafgegyyym Nonito Donaire Vic Darchinyan Yonnhy Perez
Amir Khan would fall under Welterweight - since he's a Jr. Welterweight - in the same Division as Bradley - whom you have ranked. I would replace him with Anthony Peterson. Rafael Marquez over Izzy Vasquez? Winky Wright making it in any ranking - due to inactivity. Kirkland, Angulo, Strum, or Cintron. Lastly - Chagaev over Arreola, Adamek, or Cunningham? I pretty much agree with everything else.
Was supposed to mean, if the divisions were not split, what would be the situation today? Khan would still be at LW i think. Gone with Rafa over Izzy as I think Izzy is more shot now. Winky - fair point, and I considered Sturm in his place. Chagaev I think would beat Arreola Adamek and Cunningham
