    Heavy- Kirk Johnson (:doh: ) or Wlad
    Crusier- Eric Fields (Undefeated Prospect from Oklahoma,2 Time National G.G. Winner) or Mormeck

    Supermiddle- Allan Green
    Middle- Kelly Pavlik
    Jr. Middle- Not a Favorite Division of REED's...Lately,it's Been More of a STOPOVER Type of Division...By Default, Probably Vernon Forrest or Kassim Ouma

    Welter- Floyd, w/ Sugar Shane Being a VERY CLOSE 2nd...REED likes Miguel Cotto ALOT,but he's N the Wrong Division to Campaign for REED's F.A.V.E. Welterweight Crown:lol: ...

    Jr. Welter- Ricky Hatton (Surprise,Surprise)...Or Probably Lamont Peterson...

    Lightweight- Juan Diaz or Anthony Peterson...
    Jr. Lightweight- Manny Pacquiao
    Featherweight- Not a Really "Happening" Division these Days,so Probably Linares...

    Jr. Featherweight- Rafael Marquez
    Diaperweights- Jorge Arce, Nonito Donaire

    :lol:
    looks like both you and X hold Pavlik in high regards. no love for Jermain T? Why? is that because he's from Arkansas?

    it must be another black thing. :lol:

    HVW - Wlad
    CW - Big Truck/Haye
    LHW - Dawson/Diaconu (chauvinistic pick)
    SMW - Kessler/Calzaghe (Yeah I like both of them)
    MW - Abraham
    JMW - Alcine
    WW - Cotto
    JWW - Hatton
    LW - Katsidis (Morales)
    SFW - JMM/Valero/Pac
    FW - Linares
    SBW - Marquez
    BW - Gonzalez
    SFlyW - Castillo/Montiel
    FlyW - Donaire

    Under that I don't really follow the sport, and I'll be honest, under Featherweight, I only watch the high profile matchup, when they're available... Above, I try to watch as much fights as my time allows me.

    The way he approached the fight and the way he won made me a fan... That and the fact that I don't know a lot of fighters in these divisions.

    you should watch sakata vs. vasquez II and naito vs. pongslek III. them jap flyweights fought their asses off.

    pongslek and vasquez are better than darchinless.

    I like Donaire (though didn't list him as my favorite) just b/c he's with Cameron Dunkin, as I'm naturally biased toward his fighters :lol: ... but that said, I've been a fan of his since he was on ESPN2 a couple of years ago. He fought some can, but you saw the talent right then and there. Plus he beat up Joe Rein's boy last year on ShoBox, which I thought was hella impressive, as Harturanyan was/is decent in his own right.

    Heavyweight - Sam Peter

    Cruiserweight- Adamek (only one fight, but I liked what I saw)

    Light-Heavy - Chad Dawson (much improved after getting with Birmingham and Mayweather)

    SuperMiddle - Mikkel Kessler

    Middleweight - Kelly Pavlik (I think he takes down Taylor then moves up)

    Junior Middle - N/A but Forrest looked good against Baldomir

    Welterweight - Shane Mosley (of course) and Miguel Cotto

    Junior Welterweight - Ricky Hatton (but I like the Peterson kid)

    Lightweight - Juan Diaz - by default, but you have to like the effort the kid puts forth. (I like the Peterson kid too)

    Super Featherweight - Manny Pacquiao (took me a long time to appreciate the guy, but after his destruction of Morales last year, he won me over)

    Featherweight and below...don't care.

    "However"

    Mijares seems to be the goods.

    what's with all these people who like Hatton @140? what's to like? how about Torres? or Holt? or Castillo?

    watching Hatton fight is like pulling teeth. i don't know how anyone can be a fan of his.

    What's to like about Holt? the guy is a stinker. He's a pretty good fighter but a stinker regardless.
