126, 140, 147, 154, 175 are the best.

147 and 175 especially.

[Divine Hammer]

it's definitely flyweight because it has one of the best fighters of the past 50 years in his prime: roman gonzalez

p4p gonzalez is better than anyone else including pac, wlad, froch, and mayweather.

[Kagami Taiga]

126, 140, 147, 154, 175 are the best.

147 and 175 especially.

175? seriously???

[John Locke]

175? seriously???

Yes?

Beterbiev, Mekhonstev, Kovalev, Gvozdyk, Stevenson, BHop, Pascal etc. Flooded weight class.

I pretty much agree with what Truth said. 147 probably has the most "nomadic" talent because they migrate to lower and higher divisions... And as a single division 175 is deep.

I'd go with flyweight and featherweight, super bantam is not too far off either and is probably the most top heavy division south of 154.

Some people have given a shout out to 147 and 175, both are laughable answers, seriously guys, do you even watch boxing? Outside of Pac and Floyd and possibly Bradley, who else is there? Thurman is too unproven, Brook and Porter are just working there way into the highest echelons, DA is too up and down, Maidana is a simple slugger and Thurman has yet to fight a live body. Too many of these guys are converted light welters, and some of the other guys will probably move up in weight when they feel like it.

175, outside of the top 3 has nobody, tonnes of guys who are in the Thurman position.

I actually think 140 with Garcia, Matt, Provo, Broner is better.

I know what you mean, but like I said 147 is just kind of the middle of those 3 divisions (140, 147, 154) where a lot of guys have moved up or down for "mega" fights.

If we strictly looked at guys who are exclusively fighting at 147 right now, yeah it wouldn't rank as high.

[big_james10]

If the top fighters in the division are all avoiding fighting each other, it would be unjustifiable to call it the best or even a great division. The only division where the top fighters have been willing to fight each other is 168 and that occurred three years.

There is no best division in boxing today. There is not even a great division in boxing today.

Yes?

That's what I was going to say. It may not look hot right now, but when these big, amateur stand outs with power start making their way onto the scene, it's going to be an exciting division to watch for sure.
