    Heavyweights. They are **** and nobody cares about them. Or are you talking about 'little guys' as in small boxers?

    I actually consider anything below lightweight "the little guys". Plus you will generally notice that once you get below lightweight most people don't follow "those little guys"

    Which is too bad; they're often the best ones out there.

    I agree. I often tell my friends that the lightweight classes and below are some of the best athletes in the world. They still won't watch them for some reason though....

    I've always thought of lightweight and below as little, probably due to lightweight having the word "light" in it
