Punching bags are often filled with grains, rags, sand. There are punching bags with an internal bladder to allow them to be filled with air or water.
Speed bags are pretty small bags filled with air and they help a fighter to learn to remember keeping his hands up and also to improve the fighter's hand-eye coordination and learn to shift weight between feet when punching.
If you're weighing in the 140-170 lb. you should buy a punching bag weighing around 70-90 lb. if your close to 140 you should buy a 70 etc. if you a big guy weighing over 170 lb. you should get over 100 lb. bag. There is also heavy punching bags suitable for children and the weight around 25-55 lb.
