Round 3: Julius Rain, comes out punishing bilbo. how will he respond? hopefully not another attempt to make v.d feel secure and happy he won't have to take on Mr. Marvelous himself, julius rain

This is not even comparable really, lets list the fighters in the flyweight division.

Calderon
Mijares
Nonito
Darchinyan
Arce

We can put all of those guys against eachother in one card but will never be as anticipated as a heavyweight bout between any of these names:

Wladimir
Oleg
Briggs
Valuev
James
Tua

Fans may say many heavyweights are old and past it, but honestly who wouldn't still want to see a fight between james toney versus david tua? that alone beats the best possible bout in the flyweight which is Donaire versus Mijares. Who wouldn't want to see if david tua can knock the fat out of james toney? Who wouldn't tune in on james toney's post or pre fight interviews.

There are alot more fighters and fights that are marketable in the heavyweight division. The only way the lower weight classes can bring more attention on them is by wins via knock outs. Just like how Prince Hamed gave some light to the featherweight division when he was hyped up to be a knock out artist. But them days are gone, breeding big punchers slash brawlers such as darchinyan or arce whom have been beaten and expose by better boxer but lesser excitement value. Purist boxing fans, would appreciate the talent of these boxers such as mijares. but the flyweights need a bright star that can put butts on seats.

Theres no flyweight fight that can produce a greatly anticipated pay per view fight. The heavyweight division can still sell its self but the flyweight division can only hope for a star to rise but that is unlikely becuase if a star does emerge, he'll need to be delivering excitement after excitement. Theres nothing more exciting then knock outs in boxing, weather us purist fans admit it or not. Purist fan can appreciate a boxing talent when its displayed, but majority of fight fans are not purist fans they are hardcore who seaks knock outs. The only way flyweight division can successful bring its fighters into light is to have more drama more action and more fighters. Without looking at the rankings I bet Bilbo can't even name more then five flyweights. And I bet he can name twice as much heavyweights, that alone proves how much exciting heavyweight is to him becuase even though we don't currently have a great heavyweight we still do follow whats going on in the division. Most of fans don't follow the flyweight division, and thats the truth becuause the little guys are the undercard of heavyweight events. When we watch a fight live most of us don't even arrive early enough to see the flyweights on the undercard. Majority of the fans don't pay attention to that division.

Look at the many heavyweight bouts we could have:

wladimir versus briggs
wladimir versus valuev
oleg versus liakhovich
peter versus tua
tua versus toney
sultan versus peter
valuev versus tua
valuev versus peter

those are just examples, imagine a showdown between valuev and wladimir. Call it a circus but who wouldn't want to see that happend? theres nothing more exciting then a giant fight, people love giants, people will buy to see giants specially in boxing gloves. This fight is more marketable then any flyweight fight in history. And throughout history people pay to see unusually big humans. Even the average joe whom never witness the sweet science will buy into this event.

there is no match or fighter in the flyweight division that can be big enough to stage big events. ivan calderon can't produce enough action or more than 10 knock outs. Nonito Donaire is still under 20 fights and already has expose the once hype darchinyan, Mijares a good talent but can we honestly say Mijares will headline a big boxing event? he just shutdown the other hype big mouth flyweight fighter from the big brother show arce.

Who can produce excitement bilbo in the flyweight? is there any match that can be made that can sell as a huge pay per view event?
