    I've never been a fan of the Heavyweights, I'll go the other way. I enjoy artistry too much.

    Welterweight.

    Most exciting division today and also in the 80s.

    I voted for 160, but I grew up watching Ali, and had the privledge of watching all the great fighers who fought between 126 and 147 in the 70's and 80's. Add in the way 147 is stacked at the moment, and it's hard to make a definitive choice.

    Middleweight - or something close to it. The ideal combination of power and strength, but also speed and precision, without looking like bees buzzing around or huge freakshows

    Also the deepest division in history, with some of the most memorable fighters

    Welterweight.

    I grew up with De La Hoya, Trinidad, Mosley, Quartey, and now there's Cotto, Margarito, Williams and more.

    And in the 80s there was Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns (Benitez, Cuevas too).

    And two ATGs, Pernell Whitaker and Roberto Duran, also had great fights at 147.

    I haven't seen footage of past greats, but I know that many people believe Sugar Ray Robinson's best weight was 147.

    Welters win!
