featherweight, welterweight, and middleweight! they've got the best right now! it makes it more exciting, now that trinidad is back from early retirement! with trinidad back in harness, there would be more big fights coming, these would include spinks, dela hoya, quartey (i heard he's coming back, too), plus the unbeatable hopkins!
#2 135 Lightweight :
Corrales
Castillo
Julio Diaz
Juan Diaz
Juan Lazcano
#3 126 Featherweight :
Pacquiao
Marquez
Barrera (?)
Chi
Harrison
You beat me into this, so I'll just concur with you. I would also include JMM in the featherweight list. Though he is not an exciting fighter he still belongs to that elite group.

I notice that you didn't put Morales in at Featherweight. He should be Jr. Light? Oh, well, ok. My pick is Jr. Welter. For reasons that you mentioned above, plus, those just outside the elite circle (both veterans and up-comers)who add such depth to the division:
Leonard Dorin
Gregorian
Leija
Urkal
Courley
Singmanasak
Salita
D. Hopkins
Mesquita
Bahari
and there's another Cotto, Jose Miguel, (your list includes Miguel Angel, I presume)who is 24-0-0. Miguel Angel is 21-0.
My additional list is not ranked. They're just the fighters who, I think, lend additional excitement to the division.
Note: Many journals list Juan Diaz as a jr. welter. So much the better.
