There are 4 Divisions from 105 lbs to 118lbs. That is just 13 lbs. but i dont think there is anyone who has won legitimate titles ( Yeah even Alphabet World titles ) from 105 to 118.

Arce recently won the WBO 122lbs title but his title at 112 were all interim's.


1 or 2 lbs means a lot to small fighters. Moving up is just as hard to little guys compared to big guys.
