It’s normally penalised when clinching rather than the heat of the battle.

This is the best anyone has done against Beterbiev. He’s just a different kind of animal.

Wow, nice, I gotta watch that whole fight, looks top class from both. Johnson landed some clean shots!

Does anyone have a favourite weight class?

I think light-heavy is one of my faves. More skilfull than the heavies with more explosive power than middle and below, generally speaking.

That’s a very hard question to answer. Are we talking currently or all time?
 
Welterweight has been the marquee division for quite a while. Well it was for the Mayweather/pacquiao era. Historically though it's the heavyweights that geenerated the most money. Right now I think all divisions are lacking that spark, and the sport is suffering as the best fights aren't getting made

Fury/Wilder trilogy was good fights for heavyweights division and we have Bivol , Spence, Crawford and well Canelo. There as still good fights to be made.

That's tough.

I think the lighter weights are the most skilled. But too light and they're too small and I don't really find it exciting (apart from Inoue).

Right now I'd say lightweight (135) has some of the most skilled fighters. I can't wait to see what Shakur does at the weight as he is special.

Realistically I enjoy welterweight up to heavy. We have an amazing domestic light heavyweight scene but then you have a super skilled technician in someone like Bivol.

I'm not really sure which is my favourite. I get the most excited for heavyweight but when you want to appreciate genuine boxing masterclass, the lower weights are where it's at

I think middle/super middle is one of the best balances. I don't really care about cruiser as I feel it's just a stepping stone to heavy
 
If nothing else they are really good at not getting knocked out. What was that journeyman? Christian Lait? Think he had like 300 losses but only knocked out maybe 10 times

edit: Kristian Laight. 12 wins, 279 losses but only 5 by the way of knock out and 12 draws.
Yikes
