    This division produces such amazing combinations of ring artistry and brutality. I can't think of any other division that has this combination like that.

    The fighters are big enough to punch devastatingly hard and give off a real imposing aura which the lower divisions usually lack. But then small enough to have decent footwork and fundamentals. Whereas most, if not all heavyweights and even many Cruiserweights seem like they can't get out of their own way and look clumsy. I'm not saying 175 pounders move like Lightweights, but they have far more grace than Heavyweights.

    A great division for boxing.
