The problem now is that there are no good US born heavyweights. For that matter, the only decent heavyweights now are the Klitschko brothers from Russia. The heavyweight division is the most popular and people want to see US born boxers fighting for the championship.
That being said, there are some great boxers in lower weight classes out there who put on very exciting fights. Pacquiao, who fought the other night is a beast. Bernard Hopkins, Mayweather, Jr. and Shane Mosely can still fight along with Miguel Cotto. One of the more up and coming guys who I love to watch is Kelly Pavlik at 160. He puts on a great fight. A lot of the smaller guys can hit hard and take punches, too. If you like exciting boxing as opposed to slow, big fat-asses, throwing 10 punches a round, check out some of the guys I listed. I watch more boxing now than I did 10 years ago.
Ronnie, if you want to see good fights, get copies of the Micky Ward v. Arturo Gatti fights. They put anything Holifield or Lewis did to shame.
