    with out a doubt a competitive division all day and twice on sundays

    they produce great fights and usually a great champion as well in the end

    for me if a fighter is that good he makes all the rest seem shit it can wear alittle thin over time if he never gets challanged or avoids any.

    It's a real shame for Heavyweights in those situations because they can do nothing about it.. But for all other divisions, the standouts can just move up.. Which is a whole other level of exciting.. And I think the real greats over time are the ones who have not just transcended a competitive division, but moved up to constantly look for the greatest challenge..
    For me, that is greater than someone just ruling a single division for so many years.. Even an elite division..

    competitive division but at same time I like there being an exciting champion with an aura of invincibility. Not seen that one too often eg Tyson, SRR , Joe Louis, Frank Bruno etc

    I think the latter brings more neutrals as fans too - bit like Taylor at darts

    Bruno was the greatest heavyweight of all time

    Like Mark said, a dominant champion who can transend the sports brings in more casual fans, the more casual fans the more boxing is on TV.

    We'd still find something to moan about

    great champs come once in a lifetime.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
