I''d rather it not take place.
I would like to see Crusierweight and Super Middleweight go away. Too many choices.
Getting rid of Jr. Batamweight and Jr. Flyweight wouldn't be a bad idea either.
Sorry. I clicked edit instead of quote. |
So you think it's more important to have set weight classes than for fighters to fight at the best weight?
In the case of the supermiddleweight division for example you'd rather guys like Bute, Froch, Kessler, Andrade et al were to fight at a less than ideal weight class, where their potential is not fully realised and we wouldn't get to appreciate them fighting at 100% than you would have to put up with another weight class?
What I'm saying is what's more important. The best fighters fighting at their best weights to give us the best and most competitive fights or to force fighters to fit in with fixed weight classes?
I mean who is the sport for ultimately, the boxers and fans and having the best fights, or traditions and weight class rules?
Don't you think its putting the cart in front of the horse?
And honestly, if Cotto versus Pacquaio happens at 143 you won't be watching it?
