    I'm thinking either cruiserweight or super middleweight. But these divisions are definitely showing signs of improvement.

    Straw weight.

    Though it's been getting stronger and stronger since the 00s (Takayama, Yaegashi, Gonzalez, Big Wang).

    I don't think an argument can be made for any of the original weight classes for being the weakest considering the super classes have existed for 1/4 of the time

    Cruiserweight? Are you nuts?

    If we're including ******* divisions it's straw, If not it's HW

    Better than SMW, SWW, SLW, SFW or SBW ect.

    It's top 10 is better than all of the above.

    Super Fly is one of the strongest ******* divisions. But its nothing compared to fly and Bantam, two of the strongest ever.
