          lol maybe ts is a big dude but his girl got taken by someone who's 140.

                If somebody beats another person who is the same weight, then they deserve credit. Size is irrelevant.

                I mainly focus on the lower weight division because they are simply more skilled.

                Im here to watch sweet science, not some fat slob plodding around the ring looking for one punch. That is boring to me and it’s not boxing. Im not into HW for that reason.

                  Doesn't it go the other way too? Lets not count HW too.

                    According to Wiki it's 194.7. Surprising their CW/HW's are so ****.

                      the fact is how many men you know that are under 150 lbs? how could a man claim greatness when he's best fights are at 130lbs-140lbs. there are no men that size in the real world. these men are like 1% of the population.


                      if i saw a 140 lb man in public i'd point at him and start laughing. magical woodland creatures.

                      the most competitive division will always be the middleweight to cruiser. that is where most men in the world weigh. they will have a lot more contenders leading to more competitiveness. it's simply mathematics.
                      Fine.

                      When you see Ancajas who weighs less than 140lbs on the street, go up to him and have a good laugh while he shows you how great that left hand is.

                      A nice way for you to experience the accomplishments of a very small man.

                      The weight class you enjoy and type of boxing you choose to watch is up to you, don't force people on your thrills.
