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

Flyweight
Featherweight
Welterweight
Those are my favorite divisions at the moment and they have tons of potential exciting matchups. WW hasn't been making the best matchups however. -
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.Comment

WW and FW stand out for me. LHW and MW have the fights that are most anticipated in 2015 and even though they are not as good as ww and FW, I think they are just as exciting.Comment

FW and WW
FW will be even more stacked after some guys from 122 move up - Frampton, QUigg, Leo, Rigondeaux. Damn.Comment

Lomachencko , Walters , Gradovich , Cuellar , Mares , Gonzalez , DonaireComment

126 but once Rigo moves up, they'll run again.Comment

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 ****d by promotors and networks.
those are some of the divisions that excite me right now. yes, boxing is that bad.Comment
