I was having this discussion with a friend. He was saying the obvious 140/147. Def can't really argue with that since most of today's big names are around 147 but I think. i would say toss up for 147-160. 3 of the 4 biggest PPV names are at 154: Floyd, Cotto ( I know he 160 but he really a jr me) Alvarez. Then we have a big number of very talented fighters at 154 and 160 has obvious entertainment w GGG, Cotto if he stays, Quillin, Danny Jacobs. I think all those guys are fun to watch. More entertaining fighter from 154-160: Lara, Charlo brothers, Andrade, Kirkland, just very fun fighters to watch
They're all sh*t.
HW/CW/MW/LH don't fight each other often, Haymon pulled most of his WW/LWW fighters out of competitive bouts.
Boxing in 2014 is rubbish.
The HW division isn't the most exciting division right now, not even close.
It's clearly 140-154.
That is good division too but not like HW.
I will call that the hottest division when I see Pac vs Floyd which will be never!
ahh, yes. i love to see fat guys pull out of fights because they can't make it through training camp.
i'm also huge on watching wladimir klitschko fight some of the most boring championship boxing matches you will ever see.
Name 1 fat guy that pulled out of a HW fight for me?
Let's see how fat he really is?
Heavyweight obviously.
And that's despite Wladimir's cautious style!
Hasn't been such a diverse and stacked division for a long time.
Nor opponents this dangerous probably ever either.
And championed by a king who still reigns supreme but cannot last forever.
oh sh#t, bro! "you have an avatar of andre ward. so there!"
that makes HW so much more exciting, doesn't it?
To me it does. It buggers you every day that America doesn't have a HW champion. That's why you have a large poster of Deontay Wilder in your bedroom that you masturbate to when you fail to get laid with some hobbit.
Better than being fan of Andre Ward who never fights.

Heavyweight, as always.

Featherweight probably. If Beterbiev continues to wreck people then LHW could be excellent as well, especially if Ward moves up.
The Cold War continues to ruin a lot of the divisions. 147 would be great if everyone could fight each other. 140 too.
pretty much what this handsome bongie had to say.
i'm usually not huge on the FW division, as the guys are either tiny, or killing themselves to make the weight.
that said, there are some very good fighters at 126 with punching power. the prospect of rigondeaux going to 126 makes it one of the best divisions in boxing.
stevenson and kovelpoop, and the hope that ward will move up in weight, make 175 very appealing at the top end. like a lot of divisions, it drops off after the top guys. beterbiev looks like a nice fighter, but he's got more proving to do before he gets in with a top fighter. i'd like to see him get a chance to hone is craft. he looked like he wasn't all that hard to hit, but he's got the background that will allow him to learn. it's easy for a guy who punches that hard to fall in love with his power when he puts a 10 oz glove on and can put guys to sleep. i like him.
147 and 140 have that crazy TR / gbp rift, and the fight that should be happening won't happen becaseu of it. iut's amazing to think that a true boxing fan completely discounts the possibility of manny and floyd fighting. we've grown accustomed to getting raped by promotors and networks.
those are some of the divisions that excite me right now. yes, boxing is that bad.
