    Not because of the champions.
    Because of abundance of good challengers:

    Sergio Martinez, Alex Bunema, Alfredo Angulo, Joel "Love Child" Julio, James Kirkland, John Duddy, Ronald Hearns, Vanes Martirosyan, Joe Greene, Deandre Latimore, Julie Cesar Chavez Jr.

    No. One of the weakest divisions.

    Its still one of the weakest currently. But it has GREAT potential to be one of the best in the not-too-distant future. :good

    +168: Kessler, Bute, Taylor, Mundine, Andrade, Bika, Miranda, Froch, Inkin, Pascal, Dirrel, Balzsay, Green, Ward, Lara, Zuniga, Lacy. You can add Calzaghe, Jones, Pavlik, Abraham, Wright, Hopkins and even Dawson as they all can make 168...

    For the present, 147, 135 and 118 are terrific. But not too many young fighters there. The future is bright for 130 (Linares, Guerrero, Gamboa, Mitchell, Antillon, currently Juarez, Barrios, Soto, possibly moving up John, Luevano, maybe JuanMa in the future.) Also, the future of 154 looks very good, imagine Cotto, Margarito, Williams, Clottey all moving up, DLH, Mosley still fighting there, also Angulo, Martinez, Forrest, Kirkland, Dzinziruk.

    But the division where both the present and the future is A+ is 168... huge talent pool!

    147 is where all the best fights will be made...154 pounders can go down to 147 and 140 pounds can go up to 147.

    154 has potential.

    Not the most exciting currently.

    154 is pretty poor imo,135&147 are by far the best divisions in boxing right now.
