    Welterweight normally has the best fighters/fights in it.

    I take back everything I posted about you. Including the two posts in the last 5 minutes.


    Heavies for me because ..................................... Welliver KO Pac

    One arm Wlad KO PBF.




    Sorry to all the tiny dancers but in all honesty Its hard to give them massive props when even mediocre Heavies could possibly end their lives in the ring.

    I like All codes of football too but I'm not gonna watch regional games where the players arn't the best in the world.............if that makes sense to you guys.

    It has to be the heavyweight division for me - it always has been. Even tough the lighter divisions are crammed with talent, I enjoy watching the heavyweights slug it out. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching the likes of Cotto, Hopkins, Mayweather and Marquez. Their skill is unrivaled. But, I grew up watching the golden era of Bowe, Holyfield, Moorer and Tyson.

    Heavyweight. The good thing about heavyweight is no one moves up out of it, so you've got the same guys fighting in the same division for a few years. There's no option to just move up in weight to avoid someone

    Many of the great fighters of a specific lower division may have only fought in that division a handful of times

    I think the proof can be found on the front page of the site. With the exception of the Floyd/Pac news articles, Heavy news, no matter how bad/old/shot the subject is seem to garner the most comments.

    Once again not a dig at the smallsies just the way life is.

    Absolutely. How often do you see serious discussions about the top ten fighters of any division but heavyweight? Even the divisions that are supposedly far stronger than heavyweight are rarely discussed outside of the top 5 fighters. Even the best cruiserweights rarely become big news until they move up, and fringe top 10 fighters like Arreola are talked about a lot

    :huh You need to watch more boxing. Pac just beat Margarito for the 150 lb linear championship and Sergio said he wants a Pac at 150 lbs for his belt.

    As a kid, it was middleweight, but now weight class doesn't matter; it's all about how well a guy fights.

    Heavyweight. Now and forever. Grew up watching the heavies. If I ever stop watching boxing, the HW division will be the last one I give up on.

    that's not even comparable. people prefer the lower weights because the quality of boxing there is much higher. it's a lot more skill-based and the fights are fought at a much faster pace.
