What is your favorite boxing weight class to watch and why?

All time, WW.

Right now, I also like the SMW too.

Often, the HW division lacks the speed element(in the absolute sense).

 

welterweight is that transitional weight class from small guys to bigger. They can punch and box. That is why a fighter moving up successfully from welt to mid or higher is impressive because the styles change and he has to adapt a little.

 

Like I said,thats not a weight class.Tell me the name of the "weight class"at 150 pounds.Last time I checked,the only weight class in between 147 and 160 was 154,junior middleweight.I watch plenty of boxing.

 

What a *******! You prove everyone's point. Pac gets titles for divisions that dont exist. Arum basically gives Pac titles against bums.

 

Right now I think 168 is pretty fun, but generally I like 147-160 the best. Fighters in that range are big enough to really punch, but light enough to give us a lot of action.

Nothing is carved in stone. There was a time when I really liked the heavyweights because of Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Quarry, Chuvalo, et al. There was also a time when I paid the most attention to 126-135 because of Lopez and Arguello.

 

That's fine but it's easy to look fancy and fast when there is nothing on your punches and the ones hitting you are the same. The heavies have far more at stake with every punch landed and taken. It may not look pretty but it is skill.
