    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.

        An athlete is somebody proficient in sport. Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder are the best at the sport of boxing. They are the ones that would beat the other boxers. They are so good at boxing that to make things more fair, other boxers are allowed to compete separately, among themselves, because they wouldn't even stand a chance against the best boxers.
        HAHAHAHA😂😂😂 Your logic makes no sense, it's frankly ignorant and vacuous. You clearly have little understanding of this sport. The best athlete is NOT necessarily the guy that wins. Was George Foreman a better athlete than Moorer in 94? Was Tarver more athletically gifted than Roy Jones? You have a lot to learn.

          I think it's subjective it's what you like personally. I much prefer to watch the more technically gifted smaller guys as opposed to more powerful bigger guys. I don't buy into this BS that smaller guys don't carry power though guys like Higa, Inoue, SSR and Nery can straight up destroy people with the best of them

            They competed in an athletic contest, head to head, to determine who was more proficient at that sport, and therefore, the better athlete.

            If you don't know what words mean, that isn't our problem.

              😂😂😂Deluded, ignorant and uneducated logic once again. It's not who's the better athlete it's who's the better FIGHTER. Your clear lack of intellect regarding the subject matter makes this conversation pointless. We are done here.
              I can essentially guarantee you will reply spouting more nonesense though.

                  154. Great division, but I have a post where I list the average heights of the 160 top 10 and 154 top 10 from transnational boxing ranking, and the 154 guys on average, are taller.

                    Eliminate the cruiserweight division. There's no need for it to exist.
