Thanks, Plato! I agree though, it's a lot more legitimate than any of the Jr or super divisions at the lower weights when you think about it. The difference between a LHW and HW can be nearly 100 pounds! Not fair to accuse these guys of being scared to move up and not have the same opinion about 154 or 168 pounders or anyone else. All they are doing is cutting weight and fighting against guys about their size, just as everyone save for the HWs do. If a guy can make cruiser comfortably, that makes him a MUCH smaller man than someone like Wladimir is. As far as body weight percentage, its the equivalent of expecting a featherweight to fight a middleweight.
