What does being how old matter? The higher weight classes has 140, 154, 168, and 200 that are pretty new. And historically the 140 pound and 200 pound division has the been the weakest divisions in boxing history.

The point being if 3 or 4 pounds separating the lower weight classes is insignificant and isn't seem as that big of a hurdle compared to the higher weight classes, then there would be 30 to 40 multiple 3 or 4 weight division champions. But guess what? There isn't. Those 3 or 4 pounds is significant for the lower weight fighters because of their physiology. If it wasn't a big deal a great fighter like Ricardo Lopez would have fought and dominated through 3 or 4 of the lower weight divisions like it's nothing, but he couldn't. It would have been only 10 pounds for Ricardo Lopez to fight in 4 divisions, but because of the lower weight fighter's physiology, it's a big hurdle.
