The Heavyweights are the best of the best:
Could Ray Robinson beat Ali, Tyson, Foreman, Holyfield, etc.? NO
That is exactly why the "Heavyweight" Champion is looked at with more awe...If Ray Robinson walked in a room through door A, Joe Louis through door B, take a guess who is going to receive more of the people...I bet Louis caught more beaver than Robinson, especially since he most likely didn't have to do any hunting.
Lighter weight guys may look better, but a lot has to do with the ability to move around a lighter weight/frame body...that is why when fighters like Ali and Tyson came along it was pretty amazing.
I like watching lighter weight guys fight a lot more than a lot of these boring heavyweights, but if I had a choice to watch one of the great heavyweights in his prime vs one of the greats of the lighter weight, I choose the heavyweights.
