    the lighter divisions like under bantamweight such as super flyweights,flyweights,light flyweight or the Mmnimumweight/strawweight divisions??

    if not why? and if so who are your favs from those divisions

    im a big fan of wba light flyweight champ Roman Gonzlez and former wba flyweight champ Luis Concepcion who recently lost his title to hernan marquez which imo is foty also there will be a rematch on october 29th.

    Yes!
    Shame there isn't a huge deal televised in the UK (or even on main US channels) but I tend to try and catch what I can. Love watching guys like Gonzalez, Segura, Wonjongkam, Narvaez (who is moving up admittedly) and Juan Palacios.

    These days I don't even watch anything below LW unless there's a Gamboa or a Donaire fighting.

    No, the little guy weight classes need to be merged. No one cares about tiny 110lb men fighting.

    Donaire, Darchinyan, Montiel, Arce, Mijares... I used to follow all those guys. Still do but they all moved up. Never was a fan of Calderon. Overrated imo. Seen him fight at MSG

    Finito Lopez is one of my all time favorite fighters.

    Definitely...throughout history, there have been some great fighters and excellent fights in those divisions. My favorite fighter down there right now is Roman Gonzalez.

    I'd rather watch tiny but in shape 110lb men than big fat 250+lb men.

    Yes, when I can. Not frequently, but I don't treat it like a world apart.
