Am I the only one who thinks the HW division is the only division that really matters

[shoe]

I know fighters like hopkins, mayweather, pac, broner etc. are great, but do they really matter?

Good fighters yes, but do those fights really matter? Obviously if any of them went up against even a low level heavyweight boxer, they would get demolished in the very first round.

It's hard to get into boxing knowing that the fighters in the lower weight divisions are not the real champions of boxing. The heavyweights are.

Thoughts?

you know broner is great?

[yoz]

Agree somewhat
If weightclasses and the P4P list didnt exist people would be saying "Floyd who?". Weight divisions were invented to give smaller fighters a platform to become PPV stars and generate more money for the sport as a whole.
Weight divisions give fighters like Pacquiao and Mayweather prestige, but in reality you can hardly call them champions just because they can beat everybody under 160lbs.

There is only one champion in the world of boxing and thats Wladimer Klitscko, you put Floyd or Pacquiao in the ring with him and suddenly the word P4P becomes meaningless.

Spot on.

Steam-powered televisions, fifty round bare-knuckle fights, and all the fighters had British accents even if they weren't British. Bernard Hopkins remembers it all.

I think that at this particular time, HW is the only division that doesn't matter.

Truth must hurt a lot of you here.

Lets all be honest for a second. None of these fighters below the heavyweight division are not the true champions of boxing, because they haven't beaten the best boxing has to offer.

When manny, floyd, broner, etc. steps up and beats a heavyweight, then you are no doubt the boxing champion of the world. Until then, you are nothing more than a sideshow.

I just don't understand how you can call these lower weight class guys boxing champions of the world when they clearly are not.
