[brocktonblockbust]

in 2002 on thhis forum I called for a SuperHeavy division, and every year since then been callin for same FFS

I think everything below featherweight should be scrapped and I wouldn’t mind if they scrapped all the light/junior/super divisions between the real weight classes.

You are entitled to your opinion​. No matter how ridiculous and stupid it is. I am surprised that you are a boxing forum with that particular opinion. Do you know how many great fighters and fights have occurred below the featherweight division?

Okay I’d keep bantamweight but scrap everything below that. I find flyweight and minimumweight so uninteresting (seriously what grown man weighs 105lbs) I think Boxing could do with a shake up (it won’t happen) but less divisions and less belts would improve the sport immensely and nobody can deny that. It’s no secret that the best fighters usually fight from 140-154 so imagine if we only had 147! All that talent would be in one place.

Fair point about too many titles and divisions.

However there are some exceptional boxers and contests at the lower weights. I would rather watch that than 2 unhealthy and unconditioned heavyweights fight any day.

Honestly all you would need to do is bring in same day weigh-ins and most of those weight divisions below lightweight would be abolished.

Same day weigh in would not affect the lower weights more than higher weights.

The skill level and entertainment at the lower weights are unappreciated by even most hardcore boxing fans. Never mind you.
