    Now , some people aren't going to agree with me and fair enough. First and foremost, the p4p is a meaningless crock of shit after #1,2&3.
    Secondly, I have a theory that at the really low weights, they don't carry much kudos for p4p. The reasons being :
    A. Less people fight at these weights, people in the World are getting bigger, taller, heavier. Therefore , to be the best, there's less competition.
    B. Because every guy at these low,low weights carries no surplus ounces, they're all fit as fleas, they're all quick as fuck and because they are so "levelled", there's more chance of titles changing hands more often. Naturally there are exceptions to every rule and I know Yamanake was champ for a long time, but by and large I believe this theory applies.
    Come on then, I'm giving you all a chance to make me look stupid!
    Theory B. would imply the level of competition is far greater at lower weights, no? Apart from the physical superiority en masse you've outlined, it makes sense that titles will change hands more frequently amongst a pool of competition of equal standard. And by that reasoning would make standout fighters more worthy than any to be considered special (P4P).

    A? It's only true of the very two smallest divisions that there's significantly less pros per division. Bantamweight (which is the weight of this thread) has over a thousand registered pros, virtually the same amount as lightheavy. Then factor in that it's far more likely for smaller weight fighters to explore surrounding divisions and you can make a case for them having more top-drawer competition than heavier weights.
