The smaller weights some of them are just midgets compared to most people hence no one cares. The heavyweights will never look as good because one punch can end you and when your that big it is hard to look flawless the HW division only had few great eras 70's and 90's rest of it is a great fighter and the gatekeepers pretty much.


The MW division has had its underwhelming eras to be sure. But like you said and it's a good point... most people are close to that size... and that in itself is the reason why historically there have been many great MW champions and fighters. I suspect in the future we'll have more great MW champions to cheer for. Those midgets at the lower weights get a raw deal because most guys don't walk around at 120 or below. And yet there is great talent there. Plus you have guys like Chocolatito, who packs a huge punch for such a little guy. It's all relative. I think the people that are obsessed with the HW's are mostly casual fans who like you say... just want to see someone knock someone else's block off. However, it's the division where guys get away with less skill because they're so big and powerful and can end a fight with one punch. I wouldn't mind it if the fighters were better... but it's been a looooong time since fans were truly excited about anything regarding the HW division.
