who cares about midget boxers under 140 lbs.

[Action]

How did boxing fans get brainwashed? General sports fans are not interested in the "jockey fighters" under 140 lbs. 18 of the top twenty of all time are heavier (see below). No wonder boxing has left the mainstream. Now how many of the weight divisions are UNDER 140 lbs. There are 10!

1. Sugar Ray Robinson
2. Muhammad Ali ([Only registered and activated users can see links])
3. Henry Armstrong
4. Joe Louis
5. Willie Pep
6. Roberto Duran ([Only registered and activated users can see links])
7. Benny Leonard
8. Jack Johnson
9. Jack Dempsey
10. Sam Langford
11. Joe Gans

You are a fucking idiot..I can name about 5 guys under 126 pounds that would lay you flat out with one punch:bbb:bbb:bbb:bbb:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

[kg0208]

Ummm....LW and FW hold some of the best fighters ever.

And Minimum weight even holds one of the best fighters of the past 20 yrs.

[nezy37]

:-( retard. I can see not likeing the realy small guys but cutting it off at 140, you suck

[brooklyn1550]

Who cares? Most of us here!

The guys under 140 can be the most fun to watch

[aramini]

bwa ha ha. I've seen auggie sanchez lay out middleweight professionals with body shots in sparring. Some of these little guys will beat you to death. I promise you Pac or Barrera are generally dangerous men to screw with if you aren't on the world level even if you are much bigger.

Hamed with his bare fist can probably knock out just about anybody if he sucker punches them just right.

[Zakman]

While this overstates it a bit, I certainly prefer fighters in the 140 and up classes over those below - and I suspect this is true of most boxing fans.

Speak for yourself crazy..all of the actual best fights holding boxing down the last few years have been 135 and below...Corrales Castillo. Vasquez Marquez...both all out action fights with POWER and knockouts..:nut:nut stick to posting about chins.

[Fedor Em]

Other than welterweight, 122-130 is where most of the big fights/talent is at now.

[Toopretty]

The savior of boxing is currently below 140 lbs. :hat

shut up..

[Illmatic]

.:nut:nut stick to posting about chins.

:lol::rofl

[kg0208]

Yup, Marquez and Vazquez type fights sure will save boxing. Fighting guys you beat years ago though.....nah. :lol::lol::lol:

[boxbox]

i guess most people go for more fast action fighters rather than slow moving mammoths:D

[ripcity]

You realize one of the rhings that makes boxing to a lot of fans of the sport is that you don't need to be 6ft 5in and 250 lbs to have a chance to secuded.

[KO Boxing]

:-(

[SugarShane_24]

Well, what can we say, he prefers guys above jr. welters.


Let's just say that guys at lower weight class are an acquired taste much like wine.

[China_hand_Joe]

Some of the lower weight classes has very limited talent pools seeing as so few people are that size.

It makes sense they are the least followed weight classes.

When a Lopez comes along he still deserves some credit though.

[Doomas]

I actualy hate Heavyweight division more than anything right now.
Flyweight - Super middle weight is most interesting for me since you can see guys wich have stamina/power/speed. I fell a sleep last time I saw a Heavyweight fight....

[BxN]

:nut:nut stick to posting about chins.

:lol::rofl

I'd take 147 and - over 154 and + anytime.

[nervousxtian]

The US and the UK don't have a lot of guys that size, but other countries do, I argue quite a few of the sub 140 weight classes are as deep or deeper than many of the above 140 classes.

Honestly what happens in the UK and the US is the superior athletes who would be excellent boxers in the 160+ weight classes tend to get into more lucrative sports that don't involve getting punched in the head.

I agree entirely, that all fits into my theory of why Willie Pep was nothing compared to recent elite fighters at that weight.

Below 122 it is definitely getting thinner though, especially when so many of the fighters move up in weight.

who cares about midget boxers under 140 lbs.

Me shithead . . . so what the fuck is your problem. :roll:

[Action]

So what if the lttle guys can fight. Using that logic why not have a weight class and a champion at every pound down to 98 lbs. Why not make 20 more divisions under 140 lbs?

There should be about 5 weight classes. welterweight , middleweight, lightheavyweight, cruiserweight and heavyweight.

It's allright guys......he's just suffering from a serious case of "FAGinitis."

He really loves the lower weight division.

I agree. Those cock fights get boring. I want to see some knockouts not two midgets slapping each other.:yep

I like to watch the light nobod'ies on friday night fights. Thats better than the mega fights most of the time.

Unfortunately there are ony a few thousand viewers like you that do. ESPN is on the verge of cancelling the series.

[Action]

you are a fucking idiot, scumbag. now go fuck yourself, and leave this for the big boys.

Why get so emotional? Can't express yourself any other way? No wonder your wife left you. She's not as good as I originally thought she'd be either.

Yeah right . . . there should be . . . my ass!

When you talk as if you're a fucki'n authority . . . what do you know about boxing? :lol: :yep

Why don't you shut up and put up your own boxing body with only five weight classes? :rofl

[Brickhaus]

I like the lower weight classes, but I do agree that there are just too many of them. It is pretty much a joke that more than half of the belts are held by guys who are small enough that 3/4 of the world's male population is precluded from even attempting to compete there.
