105-118 is the weakest divsions in boxing

holy ignorant bigotry, batman. Does it make you feel better about being a fat slob to make up crap like this? the world average for men is 136 lbs. the average american male is 198 lbs. well over half the world's population is under 126 lbs, since fat american slobs skew the average so much. it's more common to do well moving up the divisions at higher weight classes than at the lower weight classes. That's actually been studied before. Most of this thread is counterfactual. You may not be personally interested in the lower divisions, but skill levels go down as the weight goes up. Just say you don't like those divisions. Or better yet, just don't watch them and keep your bigotry to yourself. no that's bs

OP your acting like these weight classes have 30 boxers in them each. At a certain point the number of fighters in a division isn't going to make it better. It wasn't that long ago a Former Flyweight dominating the 147lb division for half a decade. It's hard to compare the lighter weight classes to the women's because not only can we see the women aren't that good by just watching their fighters but at weight classes like 168lbs there only legitimately 10 pros in the division. You're comparing Manny Pacquiao to other Flyweights? :lol1: There's a reason he's the only person to ever do what he's done. Most fighters who fight under 118 don't even make it to 126, much less up to 135

Mexico and Latin America loves the lower weight classes as well Yup, there's a massive market there as well which is why the lower weight classes are fine the way they are. If there's any weight class that needs reshuffling right now it's Heavyweight. The so called best Heavyweight Tyson Fury got his ass handed to him by an ex-UFC fighter.

Said this all the time I've been following boxing There's not that many fighters in these weight classes, most countries in the world don't have hardly any boxers that are this small, it's the easiest divisions to win a 'world title'. Terrible for boxing that there's a new weight division every poxy few measly pounds with a new set of 4 world titles. The phrases 'world champ' and'multi weight world champ' is diluted when you're down there. Some of these midget divisions are as shallow as womens boxing! Whereas the jump from light heavyweight to Cruiserweight is huge! Doesn't make sense.

Yup the likes of Óscar Valdez, Emanuel Navarrete, Román González, Julio César Martínez, Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Márquez, Alexis Argüello, Miguel Cotto, Juan Francisco Estrada, Wilfredo Gómez, Salvador Sánchez, Carlos Zárate, Ricardo López, Erik Morales, Fernando Montiel, Luis Concepción, Vicente Saldivar, Rubén Olivares and Julio César Chávez, also Mexicans and Latin Americans are into the lower weight divisions more then the Americans Majority of all those fighters you named are 126 and above

I like these Divisions considering they make fights happen showcasing top notch skills between elite fighters often. There was the four top fighters Cuadras, Rungvisai, Estrada and Chocolatito Gonzalez. And they delivered until recently where they are near retirement. Other ATGs like Pacquiao, Fighting Harada, Donaire and Naoya debuted at 108-112, yet sweeped divisions from 118 and above. There is currently Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez, Kazuto Ioka, John Riel Casimero, Fernando Martinez, and Junto Nakatani in the same division. Nothing wrong with preferring to watch fighters from heavier divisions, but if anyone likes boxing they be missing out.

I enjoy watching the smaller weights as much as I do the others. If something Had be changed I'd go with the original Flyweight , Bantamweight then Featherwight divisions.

A lot of them are weighing around 140 when they're not in training. So they're small by Western standards but not as small as most people think.

Mexico and Latin America loves the lower weight classes as well 126-135 yes. But not really below. There's a reason 118 and below dosen't sell and they get paid the least. No demand.

Little guys are the best. They really learn the art as it's for street self defence to beat bully up, and usually they're scared they can be knocked out by big guys with one punch (even if not reality) and unlikely to ko a big man with one punch. So they really have to master the art. Master not getting hit

I kinda agree, but not really, LOL. I've talked about it before, but the average man in the world is around 150lbs., that's why welterweight has the most all-time great fighters because the sheer volume of men that size. Once you start getting 105lb dudes out there, there's just not that many dudes that size in the world. Even in Africa & Asia the average weight for men is around 130lbs. They should just go back to the original weight classes for those under 126 108, 112, 118 That's it. That being said, I love Chocolatito and Inoue and Nonito and those guys, but it's rare that you get guys on that level in those weight classes.

Writers and boxing fans have some sick fetish for the little guys. The fact is 105-118 is the weakest division in boxing because the talent pool is very small. Even small males who are 5-3-5-5 and cut weight come down to about 126-130. 126-135 is competitive because that's where most short man end up at after cutting weight. 105-118 just dosen't have a lot of talent because it's not natural for grown men even midgets to weigh that much. You mean it's not natural for grown men or midgets to weigh so little. It must suck for them to have to shop in the little boy's section for clothes.

Watch a guy like Nonito Donaire, Donnie Nietes, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, Carlos Cuadras, Bam Rodriguez, Chocolatito Gonzalez, or Juan Francisco Estrada box. Then watch Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk, Andy Ruiz, Zhilei Zhang, Joe Joyce, Joseph Parker, and Deontay Wilder box. Then tell me what weight class sucks.

They should collapse some of the lower divisions, there are too many of them. Especially with four "recognised" belts per division, it's too much dilution. Actually that not a bad idea. Make it a big @ss division. Combine 105- 115 & 118-126. I'm down with it

yup 126 should be the lowest this way a guy who's 5-5-5-7 who's 140 can cut down to126. What does it matter, half the globe fights below 126, and USA fans pretend the divisions don’t exist anyways. It’s only a problem when a small fighter gets some love for once

The difference between divisions is basically the weight of a good morning s**t. Ridiculous. 118-122lbs = 4 pounds “these midgets don’t count!” 135-140lbs = 5 pounds “real man division.” let’s be real, if you got rid of all the weight classes below 126, where would Tank find his opponents?

Terence Crawford fans still bleeding from the mangina because Inoue was Fighter of the Year.
