There seems to be little(no pun intended) recognition and exposure below 120 lbs. Naturally so, the fighters are typically shorter and admittedly it looks a little awkward at times. But recently I've been turned on to a lot of really exciting small fighters. First two that come to mind are Roman Gonzalez and Nonito Donaire.

What are the reasons for this? Is it because it's just a relatively new division? Are people just turned off by the smaller fighters? Is it just boxing politics?

Any insight into the matter would be greatly appreciated.
