    I guess heavy. The crude measuring stick i'd use for this is I did a top 100 at HW and top 50 at the rest...but then again I didn't really enjoy the top 100 at heavy, and I did go first with that. If i'd gone fly-first there would have been 0 top 100s.

    There was a time (early 00s) where the featherweights were more interesting than the heavies so it depends on the era

    Heavy and Middle are historically the most popular divisions.

    In order:
    1. Heavy
    2. Middle
    3. Welter
    4. LightHeavy
    But also very interested in Lightweights. My knowledge gets more shallow as the classes get lighter. Still love them all though. I'm British and consider Jimmy Wilde to be the greatest Brit by some considerable stretch.
