    The ones under 126 are. In old days they had more guys at those weights, people were smaller, you had hundred of pros at 112, 118. Guys struggling to get down to 118 seems stupid too.

    They'd hate any boxing other than the John Ruiz career set.

    I can't watch and do not care for anything other than heavyweight. Same reason I can't watch college football or AAA baseball. I am sure others find lower weight classes entertaining, but to me, boxing, like football, is sport first and entertainment second.

    :huh

    Care to elaborate? Neither is the HW division entertaining nor appealing skill-wise. Why exactly would you watch it over the 140 division?
