    Usually big heavyweight fights make the most money compared the lower weight classes. But for me watching heavyweight fights are usually boring.
    They have no footwork, no combinations and a sh*t load of clinching. It's usually one big punch that changes the fight and if that one big punch doesn't happen then the fight is usually boring.

    Tyson was exciting because he threw combinations and had KO on his mind from round 1. He was also fast with hands and feet.
    Watch Vitali/Wladamir Klitschko fight. Jab..jab...jab...occasional right hand. This goes on for the first 10 rounds until their opponent is gassed and discouraged. And that is when they finally open up and start putting some 3 punch combinations together.

    It's good that the lower weight classes are making heavyweight type money.

    If you haven't seen a Vitali Klitschko fight why do you comment on him?

    Are you American by any chance? Just asking because some 2 years ago HBO pulled the plug on the brothers because - listen carefully - "the US boxing fans can't differentiate the two". You seem to fit for their description.
