Name one fighter who has a more beautiful form than Finito Lopez

Heavyweights are overrated. There was a point in 94 ish where 3 of the top 5 p4p guys in the world didn't exceed 108 lbs. There have been countless great battles in that range and true talent stands out.

I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that's how people see it.

The heavyweight champ is, in theory, the guy who can whip ANY man in the world, regardless of weight. After all, weight classes were put in place to protect the smaller fighter.

So by that logic, the minimumweight champ is on the bottom of the food chain.

To be fair being the heavyweight champ is a real pain because at that size a punch fucking ends you. I don't think its overrated at all really i mean top guy in world of boxing is the heavyweight champ. I not saying the other weight classes aren't great but in real world the heavyweight champ top dog.

I think a lot of it at the time was Straws were brand new, it took Carbajal and Gonzalez nearing tearing each others heads off...and two multiple promotion working together (imagine that) to see the first million dollar payday in the neighborhood. Also American heavyweights were pretty deep. The Foreign factor in a non Internet era with guys was big. I love Lopez, but he and King missed the mark by not moving up when it was fluid and making noise.

I get the mindset for sure, how many times have we heard the heavyweights are the engine of the sport, but any fighter can end with one punch in a respected division. Happens every weekend minus a few cameras. I just don't think the mystic and draw of heavyweights holds true any longer. It's not a bash on them, it's a good expansion of the sport.
