All fights below welterweight are usually boring

I respect your opinion, but with the due respect I think that you're a fan of WWE too, that's why.

That's certainly true but below Bantamweight it's tough for those guys to make a sufficent dent in the other guy. It depends on what your overall philosophy is. Ultimately I want to see one guy impose his will on the other. It just seems that these tiny guys at the top level obviously don't have the natural physical means to make the other guy back down sufficently. I'm not really up for that. You might see great action or you might see two ridiculously light men failing to make an impression on eachother. I dunno, but... The fastest stoppage in a world title match (all divisions) was back in 1993 when Gerard McLellan KO'd Jay Bell in 20 seconds (WBC Middleweight). The fastest stoppage in a Flyweight world title match was in 2002 when Pongsaklek Wonjongkam KO'd Daisuke Naito in 34 seconds--a mere 14 seconds later than the all-time fastest KO in a world championship fight. Naito currently reigns as WBC Flyweight king. The fastest KO in all of boxing history (without the ref's count) was authored by Russel Rees,in Wales, in 2000. It took him only 4 seconds to dust off Des Sowden. They were Jr. Lightweights. Ever Beleno KO'd Guillermo Salcedo in 5 seconds in the mid-90's. They were Featherweights. Beleno's feat ranks as the second fastest KO alongside two others: one authored by a Middleweight and another by a Heavyweight. Edit: It must be noted, of course, that Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank have both been credited with having stopped foes in 16 seconds, 20 seconds, 36 seconds...all in non-title fights.

Putting an "I" before "Q" in your screen name would be fitting when reading the title of this thread.

I know people will give alot of shit cause of this but am i the only one who think the fights below welterweight are almost always boring. Even the manny pacquiao fights i can never sit through them. It seems like fighters from welterweight up are the only ones that fight with power and speed together. Below they just with speed. ummmmmm what???? You crazy... Darchiyan, Katsidis, Diaz, Vasquez, Marquez x2, Pacquiao, Barrera, Morales, Corrales, Castillo, Arce, De Leon, JuanMa are just a few examples more recent fighters that have always shown exitement and any of em can end a fight in a knockout with a very high probability of it happening. What do you mean by power? You mean huggy lovy stuff ala Ruiz?? If that is the case you have different tastes..else, I don't know what youve been watching.

Montiel, Munoz, Darchinyan, Solis and Nonito Donaire are big punchers in the lower weight divisions. Plenty of guys with pop down there. Pretty exceptional I'd imagine because I have never seen any of those guys apart from Darchinyan and Donaire. I'm trying to get over my prejudices but when I think of it I just don't know any fully grown man that small. It has the touch of the circus about it. You cite some lil bangers examples I will look out for those guys however.

Watching smaller fighter is an acquired taste either you like it or its not your thing. But nobody can argue from bell to bell the lighter the weight the more the action.

I think below Bantamweight is not for me. Men really shouldn't be that small. It's a bit freakish.

*comes in thinkin its a Domain thread* *does double take realizing it is not a Domain thread* *is completely confused and shoots up heroin to escape the agony of this thread* LOL I have the same sentiments.

everyone hates me now :dunno:

It seems like fighters from welterweight up are the only ones that fight with power and speed together. Below they just with speed. Maybe its due to the fact that the Lower weight division's fighters dont seem to have any impact on another fighter when he throws a punch? The reason why Welter and up are MORE exciting is because their punches have impact on the other fighter when they are thrown? I dont know I am theorizing here. I love BOXING period. All weight classes.

I know its weird man. I try to watch them every once in a while it always just ends up the same with me being not impressed, that calderon fight didnt help either lol. Well to me its welterweights and below that truly make the sport unique. You're talking about little guys who werent genetically blessed with freak of nature size. speed or strength. Guys that are just as macho or alpha male as anyone but would have no other outlet to showcase athletic ability in any contemporary sports like football or basketball. Its what these little fighters put themselves through to make up 4 their lack of natural gifts that a jermain taylor or roy jones posses that make it impressive

cuz it wired considering that all the good fights that have been happening so far are below welterweight.....and you don't like them..... I know its weird man. I try to watch them every once in a while it always just ends up the same with me being not impressed, that calderon fight didnt help either lol.

Um Welterweight and below are the most exciting. Exactly in these fights there is no holding, no slow starts, no waiting till there is 20 seconds left in the round to start punching. No in most of the fights its just plain WAR!!! You almost always get your money's worth and more!

This coming from the guy with a UFC guy in his avatar. I said this over and over again.... I do no think they are bad fighters or the fights are necessarily bad they just arent for me, i dont like them for whatever reason i dont even know why. And i know everyone loves these fights and i dont really care, the reason i posted was because i wanted to know if anyone else thought this now everyone is replying like im speaking blasphemy. cuz it wired considering that all the good fights that have been happening so far are below welterweight.....and you don't like them.....

you are not a true boxing fan PERIOD. cuz the exact opposite of what you said is the truth. fights below welterweight are the most entertaining fights.

majority of the great fighters of today are below welter weight.......

that's exactly how i feel when its 168 and above... 'sackly.....fatboys make me sleepy....shit! that didn't come out right.. I mean heavyweights are boring fights ....to me.
