Appreciating Middleweights

[go0dfella]

in the history of boxing we have had some phenominal talent in the middleweight (and welter) division. all the way back to 1 of if not the greatest of all time, Sugar Ray Robinson. You have Jake La Motta, Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Graziano, Hagler, Hearns, Duran...and later hopkins, jones, toney, de la hoya, wright, taylor, etc.

would you say the middleweight division is MORE popular than the heavyweight division, less popular, or of equal liking? (in general, or in a specific time era)

and how do you think the middleweights of the past would match up with the middleweights of today? ie: robinson vs taylor, hearns vs hopkins, leonard vs wright, etc etc. those are just off the top of my head examples.

and feel free to post any photos, and or videos of some of the greatest middleweights and some of the greatest middleweight bouts/moments.

the middle weight era has only once eclipsed the heavies in popualarity, it happened during the hearns leonard hagler and duran era
