who would be the champions today if the traditional 8 weight divisions...

[AntonTheMeh]

existed,with one belt like they did yesteryear? state your list. # Flyweight (Maximum 112 pounds) calderon[maybe donaire]
# Bantamweight (118) arce
# Featherweight (126) vasquez
# Lightweight (135)juan diaz[maybe pac]
# Welterweight (147)cotto or mayweather
# Middleweight (160)pavlik
# Light Heavyweight (175)dawson
# Heavyweight (unlimited)klitschko

[Tyson Jones]

i agree withyour list completely except for darchinyan being able to beat arce. but after darch's last performance even that is questionable. Good list. Mayweather would definently be the man at welterweight just like he is now.

Why in the great muddy blue hell would Arce be bantam champ? Munoz, Castillo, MIJARES, Hasegawa...they all whoop is reality TV overrated ass. Also, John would be there ahead of Vasquez and Calzaghe or Kessler would be ahead of Dawson and Hopkins; in fact, in the eight class days, Dawson would still barely be charting as a top ten contender.

[THe TRiNiTY]

Flyweight: Ivan Calderon
Bantamweight: Martin Castillo/Jhonny Gonzales
Featherweight: Israel Vasquez
Lightweight: Juan Diaz
Welterweight: Floyd Mayweather
Middleweight: Kelly Pavlik
Light Heavyweight: Bernard Hopkins/Chad Dawson/Joe Calzaghe
Heavyweight: Wlad Klitschko

Amen

I personally think Rafa might still be making 118 if 122 did not exist.

Calderon is small for jr. flyweight... as much as i love him, I dont think he could be the man at fliweight.

That's a good point.

You reckon John would beat Vazquez? I am not sure about that one

great post, i differ slightly though.

at 147 i would go with Mosley or Williams. The rest i agree with. I think Hatton would be strong at 135 if he could mak the weight(a big if) Mayweather would probably still be at 135 aswell and would be right there.

[NeXt In Line]

# Flyweight (Maximum 112 pounds) Probably Donaire
# Bantamweight (118) Arce probably
# Featherweight (126) Marquez or Vazquez
# Lightweight (135) Juan Diaz, Pac or Guzman
# Welterweight (147) Mayweather
# Middleweight (160) Pavlik
# Light Heavyweight (175) Calzaghe or Hopkins
# Heavyweight (unlimited) I'mma go with underdog...David Haye
