    I like SMW, being british we've had decent boxers in this division for the last 20 years or so, with some decent potential clashes involving froch, degale, groves, Callum smith even rocky fielding. Add ward, chavez jnr, Hopkins and GGG moving into the division / actually fighting could lead to some great matchups.

    1. Welterweight
    Boxing's deepest and most talented division.

    2. Featherweight
    The featherweight division is shaping up quite nicely now with the likes of Walters, Lomachenko, Gonzalez, Mares, Vetyeka, Gradovich and Russell Jr. just to name a few.

    Cruiserweight is criminally underrated.

    :deal And it has been for quite some time... Hoping that this will be the breakthrough year for that division, lots of great fights that can be made.

    Heavyweight, so much talent in that division right now. Klitschko, Fury, Fury, Parker. One Legend and 3 great young challengers!

    LHW, then feather for me. MW and SMW should be good but the best fights aren't being made.

    WW, MW, SMW, LHW and HW.

    Not in that order though.

    Heavyweight is boxing.

    Other than that, super-middleweight division has always been interesting imo. Not a huge fan of the little men boxing.

    Then you're missing some great action

    The skill level is so much higher

    Especially considering how ****ty the HW is for long periods of time

    Yes I agree that there are a lot of highly skilled guys in the minor divisions. I always try not to miss Rigo or Lomachenko. Welters often bring good action as well.

    It's just not the same as watching to see who is ultimately the best boxer on the planet.

    Anywhere but Heavyweight

    Only heavyweight fighter i'll be keeping an eye on is Joshua and maybe tune in when Wilder fights someone who could KO him.

    Yeah I get what you're saying

    I enjoy most of the division for different reasons and one of the main reasons I like the HW division is what you mentioned but I wouldn't say the HW champ is the best boxer but he is the guy who would probably beat everyone else

    Your post made sense until the end...

    Are you saying that the "best boxer on the planet" is always going to be a HW?

    Or: Right now, in your opinion, HW has the most talented boxers and therefore fights in that division determine who the best is?
