Is it crazy that I only watch Heavyweight boxing?

Not much sweet science going on at heavyweight, and very little action. They fight way more rarely, make big fights infrequently, have lower activity in ring, and generally lower skill level. Not much of a boxing fan if you can't appreciate great fights like Chocolatito v Estrada 1&2, IMO, but everyone chooses what they like.

My grandpa and his buddies only watch heavyweight fights. They're forced to watch anything available in any division because the heavyweight is dead in America.

You like what you like. Yeah nothing beats a top HW matchup, but those are rare, most HWs match ups are slow and full of hugging, but the potential of a KO is high. The lighter weights have far more skills and excitement. Someone mentioned they only follow women's boxing, understandable if you're a woman yourself, but women's boxing lacks both skills and KOs, but again you like what you like lol

I watch boxing and I prefer boxing
Simple non toxic and efficient

Everyone has something that got them into boxing and keeps them interested in it. I don’t see anything wrong with that.

Personally I just want to see a good fight which is why i’m open to all weight classes, women, MMA. I just want to be entertained.

More sad than crazy.

If that’s what floats your boat, why not.

I dont watch the HW division because there isnt much sweet science involved. I dont watch Boxing for KOs.

I only watch good match ups.

Very crazy considering the state of the division, you must be starving to see some proper fights

I watch all weight classes. You get different things in terms of skill level, speed and the punches they can absorb. But I kind of get the OP's view.

There aren't many sports where divisions get created and yet we rate the lower divisions just as highly (or for some people even more highly).

Could you imagine the Olympics 100 metres for guys who just don't have the physique to run that fast? That's pretty much what we do on boxing.

Weight divisions aren't dissimilar to gender divisions or even Paralympic divisions. They're designed to give lesser fighters a chance to be celebrated.

That's why P4P is a farce. Celebrate these guys by all means but don't tell me winning in a few divisions a few pounds apart is a greater achievement than being the best heavyweight. It just isn't.
