We all have our favorite divisions, but what is the best division in boxing? I think welterweight has a strong claim as the best division, both currently and historically. Many of the best fighters ever fought at 147 lbs. You have both of the Sugar Rays, Hearns, Kid Gavilan, Henry Armstrong, Napoles, the list goes on.
welters also where the average size of the human population over the history period of boxing has been most represented, so I gotta go with that.
