Do you prefer heavyweight or lower weight classes?

i've always preferred featherweight to middleweight.

Anything from Lightweight up to Heavyweight. I have always been a heavyweight fan most, but the division has been lacking for a number of years now. I would say that right now welterweight and middleweight are my favorites to watch. They seem to have the best talent at the moment.

Heavywieghts have always been the biggest draw in boxing. They even started the P4P rankings to recognize Sugar Ray Robinson because the Heavyweight divison overlooked every other one. I stated this before that I think one reason that boxing isn't doing so well in America is becaue the HW division is ****. But if you look at it throughout this history of boxing the HW have always made the most money and always had the biggest draw in the sport. To be honest HW is actually my least favorite division of any time. Of course there have been countless great heavyweights but I would just rather see smaller guys throw lots of fast punches which can also be deadly, than see big guys throw fewer punches just because they can hit the hardest. Anyone else with me. What division(s) do you perfer.

Just a small correction. Ray Robinson more or less popularized the term "pound for pound", but other guys before him such as Bob Fitzsimmons and Tony Canzoneri were referred to as the best "pound for pound" by writers. The "p4p was created for Robinson" is a boxing myth.

I liked the heavyweights in the late 80s to mid 90s because the fights were more entertaining. There were a lot of entertaining fights around then. Holyfield-Cooper, Moorer-Cooper, Tyson-Ruddock 1-2, Holyfield-Dokes, Ruddock-Smith, Bowe-Holyfield 1-3, Bowe-Coetzer, Tua-Izon, Mercer-Cooper, etc...

It's gotten dull for the most part in this decade. Liakhovich-Brewster was a great fight, Lewis-Klitschko and Etienne-Clay Bey were good, but for the most part, entertaining HW fights are pretty rare nowadays.

I'm not sure if I have one particular favorite division. It depends on the time frame and the quality of fighters at that particular time. I generally don't follow the really small divisions (118 and below) much though. Welterweight has been a favorite of mine.
