What is your favorite divison?

Heavyweight and welterweight for me.

 

Why do Hearns and Leonard not interest you?

Heavyweight and Middleweight for me

 

Heavyweight is my nostalgia division.

Historically featherweight and bantamweight follow closely.

All of them are incredibly rich really.

 

Super Featherweight and below. Bantam is probably my favorite. 175 and above and I like it but don’t love it in contrast to the light weights

 

are you really a boxing fan? Most of us have favorites but generally we watch and appreciate all of the greats…even ones we don’t root for and/or like. These 2 guys (not personally a SRL fan) bring some of the highest talent level in boxing history. It would be a shame to watch just highlights…heck I never watch highlights, I wanna see the whole thing. How they set guys up and break them down, how they adapt etc. they are both worth checking out in depth

 

130. A division where top fighters get in the ring with each other and we the fans benefit.

 

I'm much the same, with middle thrown in!

 

How is that possible if Hagler had some crazy amount of fights with no film. If im not mistaken around 30 fights.

 

anything bantamweight and below......

 

From light to super middle.

 

When Duran was fighting and even before when Ken Buchanan was champ, I loved the lightweights. In my day there were 8 divisions and 1 champ so all of the titles had luster.

The middleweight division was the showcase division when I was young, but the Heavyweights always had that excitement. Sonny Liston was Champ when I was a kid, and he was feared but things have changed in perception for most these days. A lot was made of Sonnys prison time and so many more people are incarcerated in the USA these days and with much more than the few years Sonny did, also the Bully mentality has shown to have cracks. Still Sonny was a legitimate tough guy and for years I thought both fights were fixed instead of just thinking Ali was better and Sonny was not Superman, and his mind was more fragile than Ali's mind.

I loved the divisions between 135 and heavyweight and still love the action when the big guys get in the ring, although so many fat and unmotivated sluggards in that division, reminds me of the lean fests of the 80's. The problem today is that fighters are not active and too many years go by for the best to fight the best, but we do have some who are willing to fight the best and unify despite the organizations wanting to keep control.

This day I pay more attention to the heavyweights because the division has morphed into talented big men who for the most part want to fight. Still too much time wasted in a lot of the younger prospect who are too inactive and may miss their time to develop.
