Would you consider the welterweight division the deepest division in boxing now?

    I think the heavyweights are deeper. And there's a greater possibility of matchups because Bob Arum and Oscar and Roc Nation aren't really involved in the division to block fights. (Oscar has Ortiz, but Ortiz is trying to break with him). All the promoters, for the most part, are willing to work with each other.

    As far as fighters, you have:

    Tyson Fury
    Anthony Joshua
    Deontay Wilder
    Luis Ortiz
    Joseph Parker
    Lucas Browne
    Wlad Klitschko
    David Haye
    Alexander Povetkin

    And then guys like Kubrat Pulev, Gerald Washington, Alexander Ustinov, Johann Duhaupas, Artur Szpilka, Bermane Stiverne, Carlos Takam, Bryant Jennings, Erkan Teper ... and Breazeale and Mansour and Hugie Fury and David Price.

    Lots there. Pretty deep.

    Nah. It's good, but not the best.
