Is it crazy that I only watch Heavyweight boxing?

[Marchegiano]

nah, you're good.

HW is the division where power has the best chance to beat skill. And its basically an openweight division where guys 10-100lbs apart in weight might be fighting. So I get it. HW is almost its own sport within a sport.

[JakeTheBoxer]

It is not crazy, but you are leaving out 90% of the sport.

Heavyweights don`t like to fight tell me hoy many fights did Wilder of Fury have this year?

Heavyweights are all talk, no action.

[Silence]

Dead division except Fury.

I love the heavies but you do routinely see some terrible fights. When they get sloppy and gas because why wouldn't they? They are massive.

With heavies getting even bigger there is always going to be a trade off in skill and even athleticism.

Fury always jokes that he's as fat as a pig but can still fight. In reality Fury has put more than his 10,000 hours in. He's too skillful for most maybe all heavies. He steals rests and is relaxed and unlikely to blow up in a fight.

It is the only division that really interests me.

I don't really care about fighters moving up and down weight classes of 7 pounds each.

I love the higher chances of knockout at Heavyweight.

Heavyweight Champion of the World is the top dog in the sport.

I just find it more entertaining for some reason.

The young talent Zokirov make his debut this month. He is only 20 years old. He is a 6'7" hulk and world jr amateur champion. He obviously need to work on things but he has sparred with pros and impressed them . He is skipping the Olympics. He is from Uzbekistan a current hotbed of young heavyweight talent.

Makes a lot of sense, to be a boxing fan and not want to watch a single good boxing match.

Makes a lot of sense, to be a boxing fan and not want to watch a single good boxing match.

Define "good" though.

Good in this context is guys who are light years away from what could objectively be defined as the best in the sport. Because that competition happens in the open division.

Now personally I enjoy good matchups at practically any weight class (it gets a bit ridiculous down at the very lightest classifications), but I can well understand someone only wanting to watch people compete to be the best in the sport.

Every sport has a top division that draws most of the interest.

[Zaroku]

Yeah, you're crazy.

Most of the great fighters are not heavyweights.

I can't imagine missing out on Crawford, Inoue, Shakur, etc. . .

You most define are el gran shatan

I want butter bean inducted into the boxing hall of fame!
