    Which weight class do you prefer watching? Please describe why and dont just choose a weight.

    For me; i use to like watching lightweight but it has been boring over the years. Pass 5-6 years now I've moved on to Light Welterweight and Welterweight not particularly following any boxers that moved in weight, just that the action seens more potent.

    Never was into anything that was higher than Super Middleweight although I do know more than a few boxers up north that away and do time to time watch a few on youtube.

    Your preferred weight class to watch would be?

    Always like 126-160 the most but I guess I loved 126-130 when it had Barrera/Morales/Pac/Marquez/Hamed. Between that and welterweight, but historically I think welterweight fights are awesome because there is speed, power, and some really good knock outs. Above 160 sometimes the pace gets a little lethargic for my tastes, though obviously there are a lot of great fights up there, too.

    I think MW is my favorite weight class. IMO it delivers a good combination of speed and power

    This.

    I believe over the years it has consistently shown the attributes you named.

    I might go with Super-Bantamweight. From Barrera-Morales I and the Rafa-Izzy trilogy to Monshipour-Sithchatchawal, it always seems to produce terrific fights. With the likes or Mares, Donaire etc, it's had plenty of exciting fights lately too.

    Heavyweight by far and large is my favorite. It is my own weightclass so that I am sure has a lot to do with it.

    Heavyweight, mostly because it's THE division, at least for me. As for the other weights, I mostly follow the boxers regardless of weights, such as Sergio and most of the Cubans.

    heavyweights for me...but welterweight and middle are cool as well.i always loved the heavyweights.but with the lower weights, it more depends on if someone catches my attention and then i will start watching more of that division.like right now thurman has got me somewhat excited again about the welterweight division.i think hes the man to beat floyd.i doubt he gets that fight.

    Super middleweight for me.

    Probably has something to do with the fact I'm from the UK and this division has produced some of our best fights and fighters over the last 20 years.

    Benn
    Eubank
    Watson
    Collins
    Calzaghe
    Reid
    Froch

    Now the likes of Groves & Degale coming through.

    I generally stop taking folks seriously when it comes to boxing upon finding out their favorite division is heavyweight ...

    It depends on who is fighting at a given time in a weight class. Lightweight is traditionally a great division but its pretty bad atm.

    At the moment 122-126 is exciting because some of my favourite fighters are there (Rigo, Donaire, Frampton). 147 is good too with JMM, Pacquaio and Mayweather active there atm

    I agree, for some reason 130-35 has been bad the last few years. Litzau Caballero highlighted everything that was wrong there. some real weaksauce right there - one of the worst lightweight eras ever after an unusually strong one. Welter might be thinning out in talent, too, but there are still guys who can actually fight at the top there. Even though they are like ex-light and flyweights...
