What's the Hottest Division in Boxing Today?

[Epie2]

Let's not forget the Flyweights. Pongsaklek Wonjungkam has been wiping out challengers. Of course, the smaller fighters may not be that interesting to most.

I'll go for Welterweight at the moment as it has so many big names in and so much potential for some amazing fights. The Featherweight is impressive too but Welterweight is my first choice.

I'd say 140lbs., Jr. welterweight...here we have :
* Kostya Tszyu
* Floyd Mayweather Jr.
* Arturo Gatti
* Miguel Cotto
* Sharmba Mitchell
* Ricky Hatton
* Vivian Harris

Well I guess one of the reasons flyweights aren't getting much attention is that because there aren't big money fights going
around in the division....Also because the division is traditionally dominated by oriental fighters who do not have
the backing of big name promoters back in the east. I think though that with better marketing and promotion on the division,
in the future we may expect more attention on the flyweights.
Having said that, yes I agree with you that Pongsaklek has been dismantling opposition left and right. Very good boxer with probably a better future at this time if he decides to go up further in weight...(where the bigger money and exposure awaits...)

Rick Reeno's article on the main page today
regarding middleweights shows why its one of the hottest
divisions in boxing lately....

Featherweight and Junior welterweight divisions are the best right now.
So many good fighters.

Do I here Scott Harrison - Manny Pacquiao ?

Exciting match-up, it's gonna be one hell of a short entertaining scrap! It won't last the distance. Neither fighter knows how to back-up.

Now, let's see the featherweight division :
* Manny Pacquiao
* Juan Manuel Marquez
* Marco Antonio Barrera (IMO he's goin back down after EM)
* In Jin Chi
* Scott Harrison

3rd hottest if not equal in terms of excitement to the featherweights is at 130, Lightweight division :
* Diego Corrales
* Jose Luis Castillo
* Juan Diaz
* Julio Diaz
* Joel Casamayor
