Yeah its laughable that ww is better considering theres only 2 elite fighters,& both are relatively unproven,& Crawford's going on middle age already with no end to the bum fights in sight.
Lhw is easily a better division at the moment with Canelo, Beterbiev,Bivol,& then Smith, Zurdo,& maybe Benevidez & a few others. Ww is hella overrated & kinda weak in reality
nonsense. Welterweight has two of the top 5 p4p guys as per the ring, another top fighter in Ugas and the two biggest young contenders in the sport with boots and Ortiz. Lhw has beterbiev and bivol. The rest of those guys are average and Canelo isn’t really a lhw yet.
Can someone please explain why welterweight is supposed to be an inherently better division than say lightweight, middleweight, light heavyweight, etc? If you look at most sports, the top athletes are around 6 feet tall, 200 lbs, not 5'8" 150 lbs. But that's because there are no weight classes. So Im not suggesting the other divisions are more talented than welterweight, but why would welterweight be more talented than other divisions? And shouldn't it vary depending on the era and who is in which weight class?
Because 147lbs is generally the median size of the average man in the world, so there's more talented fighters around that weight than anywhere else.

The storied history of the welterweight division speaks for itself.
