Strange that he didn't put that as an option in his own poll if he likes that fight so much.

Also strange that he didn't want to tell me who he was talking about.

I'm not, I just don't understand how people can care about dwarfs so much.

You are very strange. I like the HWs, but to dismiss the other classes is limiting.

Although, to be honest, I care nothing about the classes below lightweight, perhaps featherweight. Simply because, they lack power to deliver KOs regularly.

A division is important when a huge amount of high level boxers are in it. Right now it is not the case for hw.

I might be stupid, but in this case you are not right, definitely.

Dont talk yourself down. You are intelligent. But the comment was stupid.

That's not to say it doesn't ever fall into the doldrums. It doesn't mean that other dvisions don't take turns in being the most exciting for a period, or that you don't generally see better boxing in the lighter dvisions.

Until we had all this fragmentation of titlea almost everyone would know who was the Heavyweight Champions of the World even people who had no interest in boxing , even people who had no interest in sport.

You don't ever look at the World Heavyweight champion and think "Sure he's the best at his weight but he wouldn't stand any chance against that guy" (unless that guy is armed of course )

As I always say (more than a little tongue in cheek admittedly) "It's hard to get excited about a guy who weighs less than your sister".

It’s not my intention to be contrary and pedantic, but it’s simply my personal preference to discuss actual real-world fights that are contractually signed-up and will be televised… I’m referring to contests that we’ll be able to actually watch on TV rather than fantasize about.

For sure, threads discussing fantasy fight are highly-popular on this forum (as there are loads of them), so my opinion is clearly in the minority. I hope that others can provide you with the sort of feedback you’re looking for.

That being said, I feel that boxing is one of those very few sports where fans rarely get to see “the best facing the best”, which is the main reason for my stance... since most of these discussions are about as realistic as the sort of events that take place in the Harry Potter series of novels.
