    Default Best Division in Boxing?

    With the potential of how many junior lightweights are planning on moving up to lightweight, will that division be better than the current welterweight situation?

    Lightweight: Manny Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez, Joan Guzman, Edwin Valero, Joel Casamayor, Nate Campbell, Juan Diaz, David Diaz, Michael Katsidis, Amir Kahn.

    Welterweight: Floyd Mayweather (he didn't retire..), Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, Paul Williams, Antonio Margarito, Carlos Quintana, Zab Judah, Joshua Clottey, Luis Collazo, Kermit Cintron, Andre Berto.

    Thoughts?

    I'd say both divisions are exciting. A draw.

    Both divisions are incredibly strong, I went with WW though.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    I went with 147 but both are extremely deep. Anthony Peterson is another guy you can add to 135

    The lightweight division is exciting but the welterweight Division is packed with nothing but stars.

    I went with the WW

    140 because Hatton is there.

    It will be ... as soon as Pacquiao jumps to 140 since JMM, Guzzy, Valero will follow PAC where ever he goes...

    I'm most excited about the welters at the moment. There have been some great fights in the last year and more to come it seems.

    Of the two presented I picked the Welters.

    But these are strongly rivalled by Super-Flyweight, Flyweight and
    Super-Bantamweight.

    I picked WW. Although alot of guys are moving into the LW division, they are still unproven at the new weight class so we don't exactly know how that's gonna turn out just yet.

    Another thing, the WW division didn't exactly get weaker with floyd leaving. He wasn't fighting any of those top guys anyway so the division remains the same as far as I'm concerned.

    I think the welters are the best division, Floyd or no Floyd.

    The talent at 147 is a lot deeper then 135.

    While the Lightweights are stars, the Welterweights are Super Stars.

    Plus now that the 2 best WW in the world are fighting eachother we are 1 step closer to having 1 "true" champ.
