    Is there a certain division in boxing that you would say that you're generally just a big fan of, and have always followed closely for as long as you've been into the sport? No matter what type of period the said division has gone through, whether it be an exciting/competitive period, or an uneventful/dull period, was there ever just that one division that you always paid particular attention to? If so, state your reasons why that certain division always managed to keep you entertained.

    I try to follow all divisions but I find the Welters, Jnr Welters and SMWs get most of my attention, but only by a little.

    Featherweight through Middleweight most, Supermiddle through Cruiser next, Heavyweights only when I have to, and anything south of 126 only if it involves Marquez, Vazquez, Darchinyan or Arce.

    I have always followed the Heavyweights, they are what got me interested in boxing originally. Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes etc. I suppose i love the idea of the undisputed Heavyweight Champion being the supposed owner of the richest prize in sport.

    HW's I guess, because it's the easiest to follow. Heavyweights are heavyweights. Junior featherweights are junior feather weights today, featherweights tomorrow, and junior leightweights the day after. The best action is definitely going on in the lower weight classes, but I think it is more a matter of following those fighters than any particular division. Maybe it was different in the days of old when you didn't have all those junior-this and super-that divisions and when fighters stayed within one division throughout their entire careers, or at least for a very long time.

    I easily follow HW division the most. It's not the most entertaining, I think every other division except HW and maybe Straw (they are just TOO small for me) have a lot of good exciting fighters and possible fights.

    But in terms of following a division, I have boxreced hundreds of "prospects" in the HW division and every now and then notice a handful that failed. Seeing Povetkin and Solis really is a nice breath of fresh air!

    If I had to pick one I think it would be Welterweight, but most holds interest for me save the lightest, cruiser- and Heavyweight.
