    Welterweight: OR- Margarito ~ Although he may have been an elite Welterweight prior to the Cotto fight, the guy has been exposed with all the plaster nonsense and trashing Mosley gave him.

    UR- Joshua Clottey ~ This guy will make any other Welterweight look bad, be it a win or a lost, which was seen in the Cotto fight.

    Junior Welterweight: OR- Andreas Kotelnik ~ He just got exposed by the faster and more youthful Amir Khan and the win over Maidana was a fluke if you ask me. Victor Ortiz would have fit in the category too.

    UR- Marcos Maidana ~ He lost a hometown decision to to Kotelnik, and exposed an overhyped Victor Ortiz. But he is still just an interim champion, hopefully he gets another shot at the regular world title.

    Junior Bantamweight: OR- Vic Darchinyan ~ The guy only has one punch, and if he can't land it, it is all over for him. "Smart" boxers would easily dispose of him. Those who have a game plan to solve that unorthodox style of him.

    UR- Z Gorres ~ This guy should be a world champion right now. He put Darchinyan and Montiel to the brink of their defenses. He is lookin for a Montiel rematch, hopefully the guy gets another crack at a title.

    Featherweight - Juan Manual Marquez is underrated. He won both the pacman fights. He disposed of barrera and ko'd diaz who was undefeated at the time.

    Juniorwelterweight -Juan the baby bull diaz. Watch the malignaggi fight and the marquez fight. Why this guy gets so much hype is beyond me. Most of his fights are in his hometown where the judges are his personal fans.

    Heavyweight - Chris Arreola. Not saying he isnt good but IMO he hasnt been tested. We weil see when he fights klitschko.

    Honorable mention Calzaghe most overrated fighter besides hatton.

    Also judgin by the pacman cotto fight, cotto is being underrated. People forget techically he is undefeated (I dont count margarito loss)
