    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
