    Best division not in the Original Eight?

    Simple as. Which division outside of the original eight divisions of boxing has been the best since its introduction? I know that they've been phased in at wildly different times but for the sake of argument let's treat them equally, since they all have a huge disparity in terms of public recognition compared with the original eight.

    My money's on 122, by the way. Vazquez-Marquez, Zarate-Gomez, consistently home to some of the best.

    I don't like the new divisions as a rule. I think of them as catch-weight division (and now we have catch-weights of the catch-weights). I would like to see them go AND bring back same day weigh ins (actually weigh-ins within 4 hrs of the fight).

    But to answer your question - the 122 and 130 would be the best. It's a toss-up between the two.

      130 and then probably 140. 122 also.
