    I don't watch anything below that, and they get overrated a lot. But little people gotta make a living and have opportunities in a sport. Plus there's countries in which men are smaller genetically. Like for example the average person probably can't play NBA because of the unofficial height and athleticism requirement. There's exceptions like Bogues and many other players, but you know you pretty much have to kill yourself in the court to make it to the NBA. NBA pretty much omits smaller people. Football kinda the same as well, and MLB is not that far behind, although you'll see more average height guys there of 5'9"-6'1".

    But it's not cool to omit smaller people, it's not their fault they were born that way. Boxing is so international because of its weight class system.
    You've never seen a bantamweight fight? Or even flyweight?

    You're missing out..

      I have, rewatching Pac fights. Some MAB fights. Hamed early fights. Wilfredo Vazquez old fights.

      That's as far as I remember watching. Just big names that are hard to ignore their career.

      I have also watched Gonzalez fights.

      I'm pretty sure i've seen some lower weight fights of fighters I just forgot right now.

            Lol 126 and 130 are arguably the best divisions in boxing

                    Man, that would turn out one super bad ass tournament with Rigo, LSC, Frampton, Chocolatito, Cuadras, Loma. Damn. That would be fun to watch. Battle royal!

                      The problem isn't the extent of the divisions. It's the fact that there's a division every 4 lbs.

                      Watching 126 lbers refuse to fight "huge" 130 lbers is outrageously depressing.
