    why isn't light heavy compared to heavyweight.

    In terms of weakness?
    The belts are continually changing hands, some people may see it as a good thing but I feel that they are they missing mental fortitude to stay champion. bhop is the exception.
    While they are continually fighting each other which is good. Does anyone feel that there are not many A/A+ fighters in the division?
    Personally I feel:
    HW = 2 a+ dominating B/B-'s
    LHW = 1 older A+ competing with B's.

    Yes/No?

    I don't really see people saying that light heavyweight is a strong division right now. I think the heavyweight division gets more hate because the heavyweight division is a more popular division and people just generally talk about it more. And people love to hate the Klitschkos too.

      lol I don't think heavy weight has 2 A+ but Thats just my opinion. I can't stand watching heavyweights the majority of the time. Light heavyweights still seem to keep me interested.

        While both are weak divisions there is a bigger drop off in the HW division. You have a couple of A fighters, a few B level and then there's a big drop into D level fighters. While in the LHW division there's more depth with more B and C level fighters.

          Well, the 1st thing is that there's a limit to light-heavy. Everyone basically weight the same, all are close in size. Heavyweight is from 200 lb's & up, in different shape, forms & sizes. Still not compatible.

            I do not remember anyone saying there was an exciting LHW match recently. Or even some real hype to the division, but I agree with all points so far.
            Prolly the first Dawson/B-Hop fight was most hype, or even Dawson/Ward but that involved a LHW but not at the weight.
