Are the lower weight classes strictly for the diehards?

I talked to this guy at work that said he liked boxing.He said he only watches the heavyweights,yet he didnt know who was champion.He also said Mike Tyson wasnt a good boxer.haha. He also said he loved the 80s,how ironic,eh?

you right bro, but sometimes we are also "missing out" on the bigger/heavier weight classes ...

"Thrilla in Manila" was a great spectacle during the time of our fathers and Tyson had defense(s) in Japan, I hope they bring more "heavy weight quality world championship fights" in Asia...

That would be a great idea as well. Klitschko seems to go around the world for fights but has yet to goto Asia. It's too bad too because he's the only one whom I think has the overall talent and ability to create some buzz over there.

Give me Morales-Barrera 1 anytime of the week.

Lower weight classes are what boxing used to be before the big money came in. Did you guys ever notice how the champs at flyweight and so on have losses? Do you think it's because they suck or because they take all fights, because they wouldnt get HBO millions with 0 losses anyways?

i guess that's the hard part ... i think your right, that for now only klitschko has have enough buzz to entice sponsors to stage a big fight like that in Asia ...

but i am not really sure if their are real offers, not like the time of a popular champ like Tyson ... it was easy to get sponsorship and the money...
