    I follow everything from Heavy down to Bantam with a fairly decent regularity. I do watch some of the bigger flyweight showdowns too but generally I'm not huge on the very small guys.

    As a relatively young fan (23) I've probably enjoyed/watched the Super Middleweight division the most.

    man are you missing out.

    Lara, GGG, Kovalev, Gilberto Sanchez, Froch, Thurman, Bute, Cotto, Pac, Porter, Brook, Lomachenko, Donaire, Mares, M&D Garcia, Khan, Andrade.

    Dozens of real deals south of 175.

    Yeah, we all like knowing 1 punch can end it all, but with Kovalev, GGG, Provodikov, Thurman, Pac, Roidquez.......you still get the same devastating KOs as CW++:good:good:good

    168 used to be my fav, now it's Welterweight, due to Pac, Floyd etc and also because it would be my weight class.

    We have 3-5 yrs before Tyson Fury hits his prime. 6-8 yrs before Hughie does. Glaskov is just coming into his prime, and there are literally dozens of unheralded prospects out there in their early 20s of which at least 3-4 will make the top 10. Charles Martin for instance is a 27 y/o SP, 17(15)-0, 6-4/5? 245.

    And then there's guys like Daniel Martz, a little crude, but at 6'8 250 and only ow getting with a top trainer in Lowe @23 y/o, the kids liable to become a star in a yr or 2.

    I know that you believe Joshua has a soft jaw....and it's possible, but even if it is a bit soft, maybe Johnathan Banks picked up a few of ole Manny's tricks, and maybe K2 will be looking to groom someone and sign him when he's KOd.

    I believe Sauerland is gonna turn David Price around, and at 30, he's gonna be mixing in with good company for yrs to come.

    I know the K2 era is about over, but HW boxing will live long, and there's already a solid group of prospects to take charge when Wlad finally lays em down.:good:good:good

    Jr. Flyweight: Ioka, Fuentes, Inoue, and Nietes.

    I was absolutely shocked when Nietes knocked-out Fuentes because I scored their first fight for Fuentes. I thought Fuentes would've taken care of business.

    Nietes and Fuentes... both highly and criminally underrated.

    I don't even follow smaller than that. I don't even know one boxer in straweight.

    Cruiserweights and straweights are two divisions I could give two fcks about, honestly.

    Everything south of 130 is babby weights that should be eliminated from the sport.

    If I listed my 20-25 favorite fights of the last 5 or so years, half of them at least would be Featherweight and down.

    You guys are missing out... for no reason, too.
