    Still reckon the amount of fighters that could potentially make 147 is amazing.
    Forgetting about the big 2 of floyd and pac, we still have guys like williams, cotto, berto, ssm, margo. I realise a lot of these guys have suffered violent beatings and are probably not at their peaks but id still be interested in seeing them rumble!

    Apart from that i love the 140 division coz of the amount of young diverse fighters there. all with different styles who are hungry and each have something to prove.
    I think the super middleweight division is a bit over rated.

    Bantamweight easy, what a division at the moment

    Super-middleweight is second IMO, Super 6 has regular top fights and some other good fighters outside it waiting in the wings.

    Lots of divisions are threatening to blow up, like Featherweight and Light-welterweight but they haven't provided the top fights yet.

    Cotto, Margo and Williams are trying 154 or higher now though is the only thing.

    i think cotto went up to get another belt. I still feel he could make 147. Williams moved up coz no1 wanted to fight him at 147 he had no choice really.

    I'm in 2 minds about the super middle, dont get me wrong i think its good. the super 6 is great as most of the top fighters are having it out. cant be bad. i think it would be a close second for me

    i didnt put every one in. but if you think heavy is the hottest division in boxing right now, well you just keep stocked up on crayons and remember and keep your helmet strapped on when you go on the 'little bus'

    And his frame is really more appropriate above 147 - where he fights like a 5'8" :(

    LW = future stars
    WW = current stars

    I really like featherweight at the moment:

    John
    Gamboa
    Lopez
    Cabballero
    Marquez

    feather is good also. these days i tend to favour the lower weight classes. when i was younger i loved heavyweight and middlewight and welterweight. welter has stayed pretty good but heavy has died and im struggling to see any legendary middleweights out there

    i think the most explosive big money fights are at welterweight. pac vs floyd potentially the biggest non heavy fight in history to be made at 147!

    140 is deffinetly one for the future. in a couple of years once we know which of the young pretenders there are for real it will be an amazing division. At this stage a lot of the 140 guys are unproven, although they have massive potential.

    I voted 168lbs. It's stacked, period. That said, Welterweight hosts the absolute best fighters in Mayweather and Pacquiao, among others. It also could have taken my vote.

    Thats a hard question. I went with Light Welter as its extremely hardto pick between the big 'three' IMO. Second for me would be Featherweight - John, Gamboa, Caba, Lopez. Then i would have Super Middle 3rd. really looking forward to Bute fighting the Super6 winner
