I don't think it's that simple. Idek how you can even define the greatness of the lil guys much of the time in most divisions. Lil title holders fight each other even less often then the bigger weight title holders.
If Joshua and Wilder never fight and just have respectable reigns before losing to random guys it's all speculation who was actually better. That's almost every lil guy division.
And sure they move around more and usually have better fundamentals than bigger guys, but it's like girl fighting where that sudden KO almost never happens cuz neither guy can hurt each THAT much. Everything is about volume. Personally I like that a fight can end at any moment. That makes it more exciting to me.
So I think you can admit there is a trade off being made with watching lil guys vs the bigger guys. And in general the bigger guys are more exciting to more people hence there being more money in those divisions.
It almost feels like some equal rights and then some thing for lil guys with all the divisions they got without a real need for them based on how many guys fight in those divisions vs guys who fight in bigger divisions.
