    The Heavyweight weight class has always been boxings marquee weight class. However if we exclude this weight class which weight class has been historically the most exciting and filled with the most talent?

    135, 160, 175, 147, 118 are all historically greater than heavyweight in terms of the talent that have fought there.

    HW isnt the greatest weight class. The talent pool from 147-160 is the largest historically.

    Those are average sized men. Thus, the pool of talent is biggest.

    135 is the right answer.

    160 is the second best.

    147 is always fun to watch and had many notable fighters

    Who cares?

    Fighters fight the fights, we watch the fights

    Whether you weigh 100lbs, 200lbs, or 300lbs, fighters fight the fights and we watch the fights

    It is what it is and it is what it isn't

    Just enjoy the fights

    Namaste

    It already been said but 135, 147 and 160 are historically the deepest. 175 would be 2nd to those three.
