      I don't know if I'd go that far...but I do think he'll wait for each to decline before adding them to the resume.

            Wait is that Pacquiao in his early days?



            Maybe the future of boxing is really the past...

                Hopefully heavyweights but middleweights also have a good chance at having some exciting fights. Hopefully it will be like the 80s all over again.

                    As of this moment I would say Welterweight or Heavyweight, based on current active fighters.

                      An interesting thought I had - we all know that there are different stages in different eras or decades when we just have a lot of good fighters and good fights in a certain weight class which tends to be the most interesting one in the sport...we all know the golden ages of the heavyweights and such, but the question is - which weight class will be the most interesting when the next decade begins? I think it's possible to make a prediction as 6 years isn't too far away, and you can make some educated guesses from current up and comers you see or those that may still be around. Also, the current top guys like Klitschko, Floyd, Pac etc will all be gone, allowing new guys to claim those P4P spots.

                      So, what say you, NSB - which will be the best weight class in the sport in 2020? On a lesser note - when do you think the next great period for boxing history in a weight class will happen? Or have fighters regressed in skill level too much for this to really happen?

                      And by 'best', this is open to interpretation - feel free to justify your pick not just on 'best' by skill level, but where you think the most exciting fights will happen, perhaps where the next P4P star will be, etc.

                      Also - which weight class is - in your opinions - the current best in the sport?

                      May add a poll later

                      HW, because Tyson Fury will be in his prime and in the middle of a historic run atop both the divsion and the p4p list, remember where you heard it first.
