    Yup the likes of Óscar Valdez, Emanuel Navarrete, Román González, Julio César Martínez, Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Márquez, Alexis Argüello, Miguel Cotto, Juan Francisco Estrada, Wilfredo Gómez, Salvador Sánchez, Carlos Zárate, Ricardo López, Erik Morales, Fernando Montiel, Luis Concepción, Vicente Saldivar, Rubén Olivares and Julio César Chávez, also Mexicans and Latin Americans are into the lower weight divisions more then the Americans

      A lot of them are weighing around 140 when they're not in training. So they're small by Western standards but not as small as most people think.

        I enjoy watching the smaller weights as much as I do the others.

        If something Had be changed I'd go with the original Flyweight , Bantamweight then Featherwight divisions.

              Yup 130 and above have more power but under that it's entertaining but 130 and above besides heavyweight is entertaining as well

                I like these Divisions considering they make fights happen showcasing top notch skills between elite fighters often.

                There was the four top fighters Cuadras, Rungvisai, Estrada and Chocolatito Gonzalez. And they delivered until recently where they are near retirement.

                Other ATGs like Pacquiao, Fighting Harada, Donaire and Naoya debuted at 108-112, yet sweeped divisions from 118 and above.

                There is currently Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez, Kazuto Ioka, John Riel Casimero, Fernando Martinez, and Junto Nakatani in the same division.

                Nothing wrong with preferring to watch fighters from heavier divisions, but if anyone likes boxing they be missing out.

                      Said this all the time I've been following boxing

                      There's not that many fighters in these weight classes, most countries in the world don't have hardly any boxers that are this small, it's the easiest divisions to win a 'world title'.

                      Terrible for boxing that there's a new weight division every poxy few measly pounds with a new set of 4 world titles.

                      The phrases 'world champ' and'multi weight world champ' is diluted when you're down there. Some of these midget divisions are as shallow as womens boxing!

                      Whereas the jump from light heavyweight to Cruiserweight is huge! Doesn't make sense.
