Best Division in boxing

Whats the best division today and why fukers?

130-Pac, Barrera, Morales, Juarez, Guzman, Barrios, Valero, Humberto Soto, Alex Arthur, Mosquera

135-Corrales, Juan Diaz, Julio Diaz, Casamayor, Raheem, Freitas, Anthony Peterson, David Diaz( :o)

140-Hatton, Castillo(gonna go ahead and say he's gonna be 140), Cotto, Vivian Harris, D. Hopkins, Malignaggi, Witter, Corley, Hlatshwayo, Urango, Kotelnik, Rabah

147-PBF, Judah, Baldomir, Margarito, Collazo, Quintana, Williams, Cintron, Clottey, Mitchell, Gatti( ???)

154-Spinks, ODLH, Mosley, Karmazin, Ouma, Rivera, Dzinziriuk, Alcine, Forrest, Quartey, Sergio Martinez ( :D), Reda Zam Zam (mention cause of name), Santos

160-Wright, Taylor, Abraham, Miranda, Sturm, Castilliejo, Soliman, Pavlik, Duddy

168-Calzaghe, Kessler, Lacy, Beyer, Mundine, Librado Andrade, Alan Green, Froch, Veit

Obviously I'm bored but that's all I'm listing, anything over 168 is :plthumbsdown: Probably should have listed 115 but oh well.

I was thinking 130, which probably has the most big names. I was actually surprised when I started listing them that 140 is pretty deep. I'm sure I forgot some people but oh well.

good topic cc for you, thats a tough 1 to call well it certainly isnt heavy, im probably gonna agree with ya on this although i wouldnt argue as the lighter weights are all pretty tip top rite now

cc, I was thinking 130 but I'm not sure now.

Don't know how much Barrera and Morales really have left, don't really know what to think about Valero. That leaves Pac, Barrios, Guzman, Soto, and Juarez which is a pretty good five but I'm honestly not sure which division is the best.

I voted 147--I think Shane's definitely coming back down there (and hopefully Cotto's coming up).

id say its always 147 baby! usually always had the biggest stars! action, drama, romance ahahhaa.

but i love pacman, mab, EM, JMM as well so yeah!

COOL CLICK bro by the way for posting a meaningful thread!

147 baby! There is some top talent there, 130 follows closely imo an supermiddle isnt too shaby atm either!

130 and 147 by far for me.Most explosive matches are there to be made.Cotto and Margarito at 147,Valero and Erik at 130,all my fave fighters and then P4P Mayweather,Pacman etc etc too many great fighters in those weights!

I'd say 147, followed closely by 130 and then 160.

I think 147 is hands down the most interesting, so many quality fighters at that weight.

I'd still have the heavyweights in my top 3 though. Yes I know their are no great fighters out there right now but it's still the heavyweight division!

As much as I love the Pacman and Diego Corrales there is something that is extra satisfying seeing two real big men go at it.

I personally can't wait for Toney Peter, I'm looking forward to seeing the freak show Valuec on his American debut, I want to see how the American heavies respond to the Russian Takeover, and most of all I want to see if Matt 'No Talent' Skelton can actually get a world title shot,

147.Quite a few big name boxers in that division.And all the drama thats happening in it now has made interesting.130 is also a good one right now but 147 got it for me.

all the big stuff is goin on around the 147 mark so i went 147 and plus its probably got some of the best history in that division, but its closely rivalled by 130,154 and 160 for the great fights and great fighters in those divisions over this generation. but i think welter is the future for a few yeears to come.

A toss up between 130 and 147---130 has more guys at the tail end of their careers though.....147 has been one of the top divisions for a long time now...going back to when you had DLH,Mosley,Trinidad,Quartey in and out around the same time

Too true!

Welterweight is the best right now

I hate to be a tool...but 140-168 just blows me away.

I've got favorites all the way up the ladder & finally...all of the matches that I have wanted to come off actually are.

IWO...this is a good time for "us/we" boxing die hards.

I have my favorates in many different divisions, but I had to go with 154 for Oscar. Cotto is a close second.

I voted 147, but 154 & 130 would be close behind. I would even venture to say 122 is gonna be explosive soon with R. Marqiez & Gonzalez joining the ranks with Vasquez, Sithchatchawal, Caballero, Cordoba, Medina, Vabuza, Molitor, & Ponce DeLeon all fighting there.

I am a bit surprised how 147 has almost all the votes but I guess you could say that it is the best.

Its just without Floyd, or besides Floyd, there's a lot of question marks. Really how good is Judah, is Margarito overhyped, is Baldomir as good as he's looked the last two times out or was that partially cause of Judah's inconsistency and Gatti being the definition of shopworn. And how good are the prospects? But there are questions about every division, like at 130 where you don't know how much Barrera and Morales have left.

If not the best then its certainly one of the most interesting of divisions, many questions and possible bouts to answer those questions...

yep, and if the article Wacko posted is right and Cotto is moving up to 147 for his next fight then that makes it the best division IMO.

Yeah,I thikn 147 is one of the best because of all the possibilites,with or without Floyd,all those questions you mentioned plus wildcards like Collazo,Williams,Quintana,Cintron,Clottey etc etc. Just want to see them fight each other and see how good they really are.

From 154 and up.

154 and up????? The talent pool stops at 160....Other than Hopkins at 175 Calzaghe at 168, Wright and Taylor at 160 the pickings are slim.....130-147 has divisions packed with talent or up and coming stars everything after 154 has a good fighter here a good fighter there but nothing consistant
