All historically weaker divisions.

 

Firstly, there isn't much history in those division. I noted that you didn't put forth even one of the traditional 8 divisions, which suggests that you actually agree more than disagree with the premise that the HW are among the historically, p4p weakest if not the weakest of the divisions.

Minimumweights/strawweights/mini flyweights were recognized only since the late 80s.

Light flyweights, effectively since 1975.

Super flys were established by the Walker Law in 1920 but stalled until the early 80s.

Super bantams were also established by the Walker Law in 1920 but weren't truly recognized until the mid 70s.

Cruisers were all over the place since the early 80s but in its modern incarnation since like 2004!

.... None of the divisions you mentioned as "historically weaker" were extant before Muhammad Ali was fading fast after Manila (but, notably, still winning....)

I could say the same about you friend. You don't seem to appreciate true boxing art when you watch a fighter like jersey joe walcott, and you obviousely have not figured out marcianos very effective style by now, because with my own two eyes marciano looks great on film. I dont think you have a good taste for boxing.

I think we can close this discussion now after a comment like that. Me 1 you 0
