most ww have tried to move up to gain the mw crown

my man trinidad failed at that. well not really, he ko joppy and became the wba champion but failed vs hopkins for sole control of the weight class.

I'd say welterweight because it's been the most consistent. I honestly think it should be #1. Theres always been great fights at welterweight. I'd put lightweight over middleweight too. When middleweight is great, it's ****in amazing, but most the time it's terrible.

Not much of a fan of the heavyweights but then again I didn't grow up in the 80's or 90's. I was a child in the 90's so I grew up with these weak ass fools we call chumps. I mean champs.

The TS specified "historical". If we go by most of the heavyweights of the past thirty years, or so, then you're right. But the title "Heavyweight... Champion...of...the...World" has historically carried the greatest honor. No other division carries the same cachet. It's always meant, especially to the man on the street, "the Baddest Man on the Planet." John L. Sullivan, Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson, all these men have evoked images of invincibility in their time.

i was the only one who thought of welterweight as #1 until u. i knew i would be in the minority. heavyweight has always been the cream of the crop. not so much these days. im 7 yrs older then u and got into boxing at like 5 so i remember tyson and holyfield, old foreman, bowe. i remember being like 7 or w.e. and watching tyson get ko by douglas. i was like 'papi what happened??? tyson lost. he isnt suppose to lose'. i thought he was unbeatable when i was a little kid.

Hahaha thats awesome. I've always wanted to witness boxing history. Sadly the only can I can say I witnessed it "the most bought PPV in boxing history Floyd-Oscar". Kinda lame.

I remember though when I was little always wanting to watch the fights but my ma's a jesus freak so she hates the ***** so I always tried to sneak in while one of her friends husbands or boyfriends were watching it. But I always got caught so never caught *****...

Yeah most definitely and I enjoy watching them at their best just sucks I couldn't watch them live. Takes a little of the fun out of it.
