But that's just it... People hate it, because it SHOULD be the premier division in boxing. It always had been. Now, there hasn't been a meaningful HW PPV event in YEARS. That was absolutely unheard of until farily recently. The casual fan thinks of the HW's first, due to the nature of fights, and the fact that you used to far more often see a KO in meaningful fights due physics. And what do you mean there is competition in that division moreson than others... If you mean straweight maybe so, though I doubt the fights have been much better. But almost every other division I can think of has more talented athletes taking part in better fights. Seriously, the fact that this thread is about 2 could be cruiserweights having beatin two washed up WLad KO victims after the fact to determine who can get KTFO next, hardly gives anyone reason to like the division.... Who knows where the problem really lies, but the fact is, there aren't any great athletes becoming HW fighters anymore. I would honestly consider Ray Lewis vs Wlad Klitschko a 50/50 fight, assuming Lewis took enough time to train for the fight. I know this sounds crazy, but fuck, it's just got to do with talent imo.
