Welterweight is the toughest division to be in. That is what my coaches have always told me because I fought as a superlightweight, jr welterweight and welterweight in the amateurs. But i mean even from a boxing fan's point of view, which division can u name that has more stars in it at one time or another in their careers; off the top of my head...

pernell whitaker
roberto duran
carlos palomino
sugar ray leonard
sugar ray robinson

this division just has a huge amount of great fighters in it as well as a lot of good ones. I think it is probably the division with the most talented fighters throughout history.
