    Cool Re: The Little Guys

    @CutMeMick: Thank you. Is it because the division is so sparse that their careers are short? Is it lack of promotion and funding as well? All of the above? Either way, I agree. One of my favorite bantemweights to watch so far is Orlando Canizales.

    @beenKOed: Word sir.

    @greynotsoold: This makes logical sense. The skills exhibited at these lower weights are underrated. Some of the footwork is immaculate!

    @Master: An unfortunate reality.

    @Beanflicker: All of the above. As I've said earlier, it's a sad reality. Smaller men wont get the same respect as the bigger guys. It makes a lot of sense, boxing, as you said, feeds off the spectacle, the larger than life characters and grit that can only be seen and tested in the ring. You just don't think about that when you think about smaller fighters. Hopefully this is only temporary. It'll be a very slow build, to be sure, but I'm certain that one day boxing will be glorious once more, and the smaller divisions will finally be recognized!

    Hardcore boxing fans, tend to like pugs in all weight divisions, but casual boxing fans and/or fans who only watch certain fights and fighters are fickle.

    Set up Viloria vs Gonzalez, get HBO or Showtime to pick it up and then it'll bring a little bit more attention

    I do think if you have a charismatic guy like Donaire who is KTFOing people left and right, he can certainly break through.
