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.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
