    WW, MW, or LHW. Toss up.

    WW looks good "on paper" but is stalled by promoters/networks issues.
    For me it's LHW. Several really good fighters at the top (without a clear favorite), which realistically can fight each other this and/or next year.

    Good bit of lateral, and alas, political thinking; Yeah exactly WW... and the floating fighters just below and above that weight add to that--Is the glance answer....BUT the less restricted, polarised, political...yet very talented LHW division has more potential for great fights. So yeah, good answer (Forgive the long, winded paraphrase of your answer...I could have just clicked like)

    HW has a potential to become a top division once Usyk goes up in weight.

    Haven’t seen him yet. Do you think he can seriously contend with the top 3

    I have been a WW loyalist, but they don't want to fight it seems and am increasingly drawn to thinking like this.

    Welterweight is overrated ..... It's either middleweight or heavyweight....

    I hope so, if he can we'll have top 4, unlike Klitschko era where we had top 1.

    Featherweight and Super Flyweight have lots of great fights coming up (Warrington-Santa Cruz or Valdez, SSR - Ancajas, SSR-Estrada 2)... LHW is solid as mentioned, as is MW.

    It would be cool to watch a small HW beating huge HWs. We haven't seen this since Holyfield. Haye only beat Valuev and in a very close fight.
