Why don't heavyweight boxers get praise for moving up in weight like lower weight classes??
If there where weight divisions in heavyweights (sounds ridiculous) 205, 208, 212, 215, 218, 222, 226, 230 etc etc etc.
Or even something more condensed like 210 220 230 240 etc; would they get praise for moving up in weight just like lower weight classes?????
Everyone is playing dumb now... I wonder why?....
It goes to show you that there is a serious double standard.
Canelo has to lose 2Lbs in his last fight and its a "Tragedy"
Floyd weighing in at 2lbs over JMM is a "Tragedy" and he gets ridiculed, no credit for the win.
But a guy can be 201 and beat a guy 260 and it doesnt mean sh^t....
But a guy can go from 130 to 154 (even though 130 guys come in the ring at 150 anyway)and be a 5 division champ and the best thing since bread....
If that aint bullsh^t then i dont know what is.
What is the difference? There is none, and dont give me no bone density bullsh^t. Weight is weight

We should give arreola more credit for eating 10 pizzas a day.
hahahah!!!
its tough because there is that to go too. but like I said what if a fighter started at 200 and gained muscle to 230 and beat up fighters that had 20 pounds on them
Im not saying im right but I want to hear others opinions
So a fighter 5'10 is slender starts his career at 130 puts on weight and ends 160
gets more praise then a fighter who
6'4 is slender starts his career at 190 puts on weight and ends at 220??
who could possible be fighting fighters 30+ pounds on him
Wasn't there a Super Heavyweight division years ago?
maybe your thinking of crusier weight in early 2000s it changed from 190 limit to 200 limit
Never in the pro aspect of the sport.
And heavyweights aren't moving up in weight, they are in the same division lol
It's just that as fighters get older, they put on muscle and then at a certain stage, fat, examples include late 70s Ali, Tyson, Johnson put on quite some weight and so on.
so a person starts off at 205 and ends there career at 250, a 15 year career. Puts on mostly muscle isn't moving up in weight????
They're not moving up in weight classes, just weight. They get fat or more built....The guys their fighting are the same. This thread makes me cry.
Why would this thread make you cry?? then gtfo emotional little girl!
Why is this so inconceivable? Numerous weight classes were created in the 1980's
168 being one of them.
Im not even saying they should create new weight classes, im just saying hypothetically what if they already were established..

No they shouldn't. Their bone structure allows them to fight and take the punishment of HWs.
And if you're a smallish HW, then you have the speed advantage.
Now a guy like RJJ on the other hand. He's completely small for HW. He doesn't have the bone structure for HW. He just has insanely quick reflexes and cat like quickness.
