In the 1970' and 80's We all new their names, Ali ,Fraizer,Norton, Foreman, Holmes, Dokes and of course Mike Tyson. Even in the 90's we could name a few Lewis, Douglass and Holyfield

Now Boxing  has new Suoerstars  and they are all in one weight class The welterweights

 As a avid boxing fan Its sad to admit but during the 80's and 90's  I never watched anything but the big guys , except Marvin Hagler his KO of Tommy Hearns is a classic. So back to the welterweight division. It is packed with talented fighters who are fast and actually hit the body. Basically the first real welterweight fight I saw Was Micky Ward vs Aturro Gati I was hooked.! They threw more punches in one round then heavyweights do in twelve. No more paying fifty bucks to watch Tyson knock out his opponent in one round.The reason I love this division is there are so many good fighters with different styles that making good Matchups is easy.Margarto vs Cotto was a war two different styles made this fight. Cotto boxing Margarito stalking ,zinging shots to the body Alot of the welterweights are from different country's so  rivalry is not a problum.Hers a few names I can throw out  Hatton, CLoutty ,Judah, Cotto, Willams, Mosley, Margarito, Mayweather and this is just a few . Take any one of these guys and put them together in a ring and you have a terrific fight So weather its HBO or ESPN when boxing is on and your flippen by stop you wont be disappointed
