What has been the best division in boxing for the last 10 years?
I gotta give it to 140 based on consistency! Mainly due to the fact that Super Lightweight has been so deep and the competitiveness the state of the division has found itself in on several occasions in the last decade.
Honorable mentions: 135 (several skilled, good fighters), 147 (being one of the golden divisions, Welterweight featured big names in the last 10 years), 130 (skilled fighters & names) & 168 (always remaining deep).

I too think 135, 140 and 147 had pretty deep divisions and they have been the deepest on a more consistent basis than some of the other divisions. I voted for 140.

It is tough as 160-175 has been deep & so was 140-154. 126-135 also had a lot of depth & same with 112-122.
I know they cover 3 divisions but a lot of fighters fluctuated around those divisions & the way fighters weight hop these days it is hard to pin down one division I think.

I voted featherweight.
Welterweight has certainly been the most glamorous division of the decade (going back to the late 90's with Oscar and Tito), but considering that Barrera, Morales, Marquez and Pacquaio all fought prominently at 126 this decade and all are legitimate ATG's, I went with that one.

I voted Welter. 47 has always brought good fights and good fighters.
