    Same as the other one, but obviously all time. Should be just as self-explanatory tbh.

    HW - Patterson, Frazier, Quarry
    CW - Usyk, Glowacki, Thompson
    LHW - Charles, M.Johnson, JC.González
    SMW - Groves, Ryder, Saunders
    MW - Toney, Benn, Watson
    JMW - Hearns, Kalule, Benítez
    WW - Ortega, Basilio, Griffith
    JWW - Pacquiao, Napoles, Hatton
    LW - Durán, Angott, Ortiz
    SFW - Boza, M.Gomez, Argüello
    FW - Pedroza, Salido, Kelley
    SBW - Morales, Gomez, Zaragoza
    BW - Sahaprom, Olivares, Burnett
    SFly - G.Román, Rungvisai, Moon
    Fly - Canto, B.González, CH.Park
    LFly - Chocolatito, Yuh, Yaegashi

    *I'm listing mine by the weights they were at, at the time, and what weight their prime was at. So eg. Patterson is listed as HW despite being a CW in modern times.

    Of all the weights, the one that I definitely the lowest interest in, is easily featherweight.

    Edit: changed list.

    All I can say is good job not putting this in to Classic. We know what heavyweights(Carnera,Marciano) they'd pick. Also very attack minded bar Bhop,Saunders and Sweet Pea. Surprised no Bazooka at super bantam. Any reason for not being interested in Featherweight?

    I like swarmers, they're exciting. But my favourite style is most definitely boxer-punchers. Usyk, Charles, Canto, Yuri, Román, Burnett, Rigo, Pedroza, Whitaker, Rodriguez, Benitez, Toney, Hopkins, Saunders and Lewis are all boxers or boxer-punchers, most of which aren't particularly aggressive.

    I like Gomez, I just happen to prefer the ones above.

    I don't know why I'm not very interested at FW, it's imo the weakest division historically, but I'm not massively attached to any career featherweights, but there's also very few I dislike. For example, I like Azumah Nelson and Salvador Sanchez, but not enough to say they're my favourites.

    Yeah, glad you didn't take it in a condescending way. I meant "I know you like him" rather than "he should be there".

    Chávez is cool, the fight with Mario Martínez (at 130 not 140) is awesome.
