Yes, I think welterweight is the best division in the sport.

It's the perfect weight for the combination of both speed and power.

Also, it's the crossroads division that most great fighters pass thru.

On one hand, you have the great lightweights who move up to welterweight for a greater challenge. Fighters like Armstrong, Duran, Whitaker, Mosley, Mayweather, De La Hoya, among others.

Then you have the slightly bigger fighters who start their careers at 147 before moving up to other divisions. Leonard, Robinson, Hearns, Trinidad, etc.
