    Are they all the same?

    Or do you think a certain weight division has more potential for exciting fights based on size/power/speed differences?

    Welterweight will always be where athleticism meets the big punch. Example: Thomas Hearns.

    Yeah except for the Klitchkos, who are the most talented heavyweights since Holmes.

    For me, it is junior welter to HW. It is rare that I find any exciting fights under JW. And for some reason, cruiserweight always seems to be off the radar. Not sure why. Guess it's because guys either jump to HW for the big money or fight lighter guys at LHW.

    Above WW the movements of the boxers tends to become more sluggish for my taste.

    Heavyweight has always been my favorite just something awesome about the big guys slugging it out

    Always had a soft spot for the never popular cruiserweight division, it reminds me of the classic heavyweights, big guys who can bang but are still athletic and well conditioned

    The weights I don't watch are pretty much anything sub 126 though I really like watching Estrada and wanna learn more about Narvaaez and Chocalito
