…is 168.
Look at all these guys: http://www.boxrec.com/ratings.php?division=Super%20Middleweight
So many undefeated guys with high KO % and the likes of Calzaghe, Lacy, and Kessler.
Let’s see some of these guys fight each other.
P.S. Don’t pay attention to boxrec silly ranking system.
Good pick but I would say super feather.
I coudn’t pick one but from 115-147 is ACTION PACKED!! Soooooooo many possibilities!
You guys are right but the bigger guys with KO power are more exciting to watch.
nah its gotta be the welters and light welters. loads of talent and loads of potentially awesome fights. and its got other fighters either moving up or going down to get some of the action.
i disagree the lower weights can sustain a higher pace and also they have as much power in comparison with their size so they may not be able to hit as hard but it doesnt take as much to ko some of their weight as it would a heavy weight
IMO…In this order
Welter
Lightweight
Flyweight
Super Feather
Bantam
Super Middle
Cruiserweight has an exciting champion in O’neil Bell and a couple of exciting contenders. Very underrated division.
Cruiserweight is a good division. That guy Guillermo Jones is the one to watch. IMO he could KO anybody out there. Also I like welterweight and Jr. Middle. A lot of former stars from 147 now reside at 154 and with fights like Forrest vs Quartey comin up, you gotta love it.

Are these guys freaking retards? hatton won his fight against collazo (imo) but Collazo isn’t even in the top 25 for the weight… what the hell are these guys smoking???
I mean if u rate hatton as number 2 in that devision surly the guy he JUST beat should be in the top 5, but hes not even in the top twenty freaking five!
You going to give yourself a head ache if you keep looking at Boxing Rec’s rankings.
Yeah I agree there is more depth in these divisions than all of the others.
I expect junior middle to become a hot division in the next couple years though with Floyd, Julio, Ishe Smith and others heading there.
And I’m almost embarrased to say but I still quite like the heavyweights. No great talents but the division is starting to take shape finally.
147, and 154 are looking real good. Especially if cotto, Castillo, and Hatton all come to 147. If they stay at 140, 140 will be right there. 135 will lose a little, but still has talent. 130 is good too. However, if Castillo and Corrales both go, I expect a few guys to move up, like Juarez. Everything from 154 down is thick, and constantly changing. 147 right now, simply because some of 154 guys fight at 147, and some 140 guys, fight at 147.
I agree with Bilbo on giving the heavies a shout. May not have the best fighters, but they are all very close. Now, if we can get a few unification fights.
Heavyweight!!! just kidding.
I like the flyweight division with the IBF champ & power puncher Vic Darchinyan, two more undefeated champs in WBA champ Lorenzo Parra & WBO champ Omar Narveaz, long time WBC champ Pongsaklek Wongjonkam and how could you forget Jorge Arce.
I wanna see Arce vs Darchinyan.
That would make my day. ;D
C’mon flyweights
IMO welterweight is a fookin great division ;D
168 and 147…I think we could be seeing some great fights in the future…
140 and lightweight
Heavyweight has the POTENTIAL but of course the big fights aren’t happening there right now
140 and 147,thats where the action is now.the smw and lh (for the top end fighters thats pretty much one division right now) has some intriguing and exciting fights but many of the big names are on the way down whereas most of the big names at 140 and 147 are at or appraoching their peak.
