At present 147 is one of the best divisions, but historically, all of boxing is in a bit of a slump, so 147 is among the best at a time when the best are less than great. Think about Hearns, Leonard, Duran, and Benitez tangling with Mayweather, Pac, Mosley, and Cotto. What would Robinson do to little Pac? They'd arrest Sugar Ray for capital murder! Welterweight is a lot of fun right now, but it does get over rated when compared to other eras
WTF?! :huh How is that when the top guys of the division have been and are fighting each other? The only WW who's been reluctant to face anyone is the one who's supposedly the best, Mayweather.
Overrated? Must be styles make fights. I think because its so close thats why its so great, its unpredictable, would a great welterweight division by one steaming ahead of everyone else? Ala Mayweather?
:rofl Oh yea, except for the fact that the biggest most talked about fight in recent years (that will probably will break all kinds of records as well) is at the WW limit.
name 1 division that is as deep as 147...THE NEXT BEST THING IS 168 AND IT DONT EVEN COME CLOSE TO FU45IN WITH 47:deal
140 is deep although the crop of fighters are mostly green. I agree with you though, 147 is THE BEST DIV IN BOXING RIGHT NOW :good
wtf is this ****, how can it be overated if it actulliy is the best division . whats it competing with ? outher great divisions in history (whch by the way is impossible and i wish people would stop doing it)
