    I'm ashamed to admit I don't go any lower than Batamweight. My knowledge of boxers below 122 is very poor, casual fan like as they are just too small for my liking.

    What am I missing out on? Anyone else only follow boxers of a certain weight division?

    Probably 126 and that is only since Loma showed up. Realistically 135. I will watch high profile fights in lower weightclasses but claiming that I follow the divisions is a stretch.

    Donaire and Rigo are only reason I follow 122.

    The one division below bantamweight which even casual boxing fans cannot afford to overlook is the flyweight division, which is a division with some incredible talents. Juan Estrada, Akira Yaegashi, Giovani Segura, Brian Viloria, and Roman Gonzalez are probably the current Top Five in the division, and all of them pack power and are extremely exciting to watch. Yaegashi and Gonzalez will actually fight each other on 5 September in Tokyo, and that fight promises to compete for Fight of the Year consideration. Also keep an eye out for Moruti Mthalane, a very good boxer, who fought Nonito Donaire several years ago. The division also has some exciting up-and-coming young talents as well, particularly Kazuto Ioka and McWilliams Arroyo. Again, this is a division that even casual fans cannot afford to overlook!!!

    below 135 I only follow the absolute top fighters and very few at that. Don't really follow Heavyweight either except for a few as it has been terrible.

    I used to follow only 135 and up but a lot of the japanese fighters in the lower weight classes made me a fan.

    Not to sound like a loser, but I only stopped following 105 since the end of Nkosinathi Joyi's title reign.

    I've followed 108 the last couple years with Adrian Hernandez's wars and Kazuto Ioka's recent little stint and hope to continue with Inoue.

    Flyweight has always been a joy. Best division in boxing, currently.

    Flyweight is a great division right now

    Light-Fly is worth keeping an eye on too.

    All these fucckers missing out. Flyweight is a monstrous division right now:

    Roman Gonzalez - a complete monster destined for HOF
    Juan Francisco Estrada - the best Mexican fighter today
    Naoya Inoue - a dude who just won the world title in his 6th pro fight against a good opponent and is only 21 years old
    Amnat Roenrueng - a former very good amateur who's clinical and beat a very good fighter recently in...
    Kazuto Ioka - a v.skillful dude who's been world champ for a while before losing it to Amnat, and is a top fighter
    Akira Yaegashi - another top fighter and WBC champ, when I say top fighter, he's a very good fighter when comparing him to other divisions. He's about to fight Roman Gonzalez in Sept.
    And there's the rest of them, including Brian Viloria and Giovani Segura and McWilliams Arroyo who is finally stepping up to the big scene!
