Is there a certain division in boxing that you would say that you're generally just a big fan of, and have always followed closely for as long as you've been into the sport? No matter what type of period the said division has gone through, whether it be an exciting/competitive period, or an uneventful/dull period, was there ever just that one division that you always paid particular attention to? If so, state your reasons why that certain division always managed to keep you entertained.

I try to follow all divisions but I find the Welters, Jnr Welters and SMWs get most of my attention, but only by a little.

Featherweight through Middleweight most, Supermiddle through Cruiser next, Heavyweights only when I have to, and anything south of 126 only if it involves Marquez, Vazquez, Darchinyan or Arce.
smw! is the most intererting division at the moment

I have always followed the Heavyweights, they are what got me interested in boxing originally. Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes etc. I suppose i love the idea of the undisputed Heavyweight Champion being the supposed owner of the richest prize in sport.
1. Heavyweight
2. Middleweight
3. Supermiddleweight

The most?
Feather weight to welter.
That is where the real action is. :yep

HW's I guess, because it's the easiest to follow. Heavyweights are heavyweights. Junior featherweights are junior feather weights today, featherweights tomorrow, and junior leightweights the day after. The best action is definitely going on in the lower weight classes, but I think it is more a matter of following those fighters than any particular division. Maybe it was different in the days of old when you didn't have all those junior-this and super-that divisions and when fighters stayed within one division throughout their entire careers, or at least for a very long time.

I easily follow HW division the most. It's not the most entertaining, I think every other division except HW and maybe Straw (they are just TOO small for me) have a lot of good exciting fighters and possible fights.
But in terms of following a division, I have boxreced hundreds of "prospects" in the HW division and every now and then notice a handful that failed. Seeing Povetkin and Solis really is a nice breath of fresh air!

If I had to pick one I think it would be Welterweight, but most holds interest for me save the lightest, cruiser- and Heavyweight.

I try to follow all of them (126 lbs. and above).
BUT, my favorite division will always be Heavyweight. :D

Heavyweight, too hard to follow any one lower weight division as those fighters frequently move-up and down to different weight classes

welter-middle have been my favorite since the 80's wit guys like sugar ray, hearns, hagler, duran, whitaker, early jones jr, mayweather, de la hoya, trinidad, cotto nd da list goes on and on. sometimes the heavyweight division catches the eye

Welterweight because of the history.

I enjoy them all from small to tall, as long as they come to fight. Favorites right now though between 140-175

I'm a boxing fan I follow them all religiously. Admittingly minimum weight to super bantam weight not as much but I still know the large majority of the top and good fighters.

Follow whatever is on TV, but the sub-super flyweight divisions are hard to follow as most of the fighters are foreign and not shown on TV.
Gotta say 130-154 have had the most consistently good fights as of late.

Heavyweight most religiously, probably middleweight after that. But I am a bigtime boxing fan who will watch any fight, whatever the weight. The sub-featherweight divisions are probably those that interest me least, however.

I follow the lightweight and welterweight divisions the most, and everything in between. From 130-147, there are so many skilled and exciting fighters its riddiculous. You have at least 5 pound4pound fighters in there, PBF, Pac, Barrera, Hatton, JAM. Also JLC and Cotto and Mosley are right outside the top 10, when Castillo wins he will be back in the top 10.
