    Which weightclass do you think is currently the most stacked, most exciting? Which fighters make a case for your pick?

    Flyweight
    Gonzalez and Estrada are the top two, then you have Amnat, Ioka, Reveco, Mthalane, Casimero, Yodmongkol, Viloria, Kogawa, Muranaka, Eto, Segura, Arroyo, Saludar,

    In terms of excitement you can throw in in any of those guys and you're likely to get a FOTY style contest

    Featherweight is interesting.

    And Welterweight has a stack of talent too

    You can't beat Welterweight.
    Floyd, Pacquiao, Bradley,
    Porter, Thurman, Maidana,
    Alexander, Khan, Rios,
    Brook, Guerrero,
    possibly Garcia, Peterson and Broner moving up.

    featherweight

    Walters, Cruz, Russel jr, Mares, Lomachenko, Darchinyan,

    and Frampton, Rigondeaux and Donaire could move up too

    LWW and WW is great too

    cruiserweight is overraterd imo i hope Kudryashov, Usyk and Beterbiev(if he moves up) could bring some excitement in the future

    Featherweight..

    Lomachenko, GRJ, Walters. Three very talented (relatively) young fighters.

    Plus upcoming there's Oscar Valdez and many other older decent fighters in Gradovich, Selby, Mares, Donaire, Gonzalez, Vetyeka, Darchinyan.

    Huck, Hernandez, Arslan and Chakiev are overrated i could see 46 years old Tarver knocking them out Huck might lose on points

    Kovalev, Stevenson and Beterbiev would Knock them out too

    haven't see enough of Wlodcarcyzk and Mchunu

    Flyweight is recognized by hardcores as the best. Although I do think Gonzalez and Estrada are way ahead of the chasing pack.

    Most competitive between the top 10 or so is probably cruiserweight. A lot of styles-make-fights arguments in that one.
