Does a fighter's prime change depending on the weight class?

You could argue it is quicker to get to the top at the lighterwights for all those reasons.

There are more weight classes at these lower weights you can win titles at multiple weights. The younger boxers, especially a teenager, can "grow" up the weights as they mature but will have shorter careers than an average boxer.

I'm not sure about it being quicker to get to the top at the lighter weights. Sure... the pound increments are smaller (3 pounds at the very bottom). But the competition is fierce, and because there are less of the shenanigans that accompany the middle weights with some of the "annointed fighters"... it is difficult to duck anyone on your way up. Eventually you're going to meet someone who's gonna either beat you or give you an epic battle.

But you're right about "growing through the weights." Most of these are just the natural growing process taking its course.

I don't know. All I know is that for many reasons, I sometimes prefer the lighter weights because of there being less drama and the B.S. that comes standard at the higher weights.
