    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.

    i think the supermiddle division is interesting, featuring a group of aging superstars who fight anywhere from middle to LH.

    You have RJJ, Calzaghe, Hopkins, Wright, and arguably Trinidad (though he should probably be no higher than middle.) Add the 2 kids, Pavlik and Taylor, and you have much potential for some interesting fights.

    However I don't see much happening and time is running out. Calzage seems to have spent a career avoiding the best until Hopkins. RJJ has to be very picky at this point. Hopkins and Wright seem to want to fight anyone but no one wants to fight them, probably b/c of their frustrating defense-first style doesn't exactly put fannies in the seat.

    Calzaghe-Pavlik makes the most sense since they're both peaking. They also have some holes in their game that a clever RJJ could expose, and that would be a terrific way to end his career.

    Welterweight is the best division right now. About 10 years ago it was the best division and then those same guys made junior middleweight the most exciting division. That may happen again very soon.

    Before lightweight, I think the next best division is junior featherweight.
