Do we really need 5 weight divisions to cover the 13 pounds from 105-118?

    The lightheavyweights and guys between 200 -215 are the ones who could use a break, it seems to me.

      - - No $$$ in teensy divisions any more than in femaie boxing. Eliminating the Jr and Super Teensies would give Boxing more credibility and competition. Flyweight and Banty have always been quite popular and could be even more so with the revisions.

      BrigetteWt and JumboWt could be consolidated into Mixed Turd division with soiled results that the Orgs love so much.

        April, 1977 - Surely one of my favorite fights.

        Carlos Zarate, 45-0-0 44 KOs -WBC Champ

        The greedy sanctioning bodies couldn't get together on this, so the WARRIORS themselves just plowed right through the BS and agreed to settle the thing in a scheduled 10 rounder at the Inglewood Forum.

        236 pounds of explosive firepower.
        Balls to the wall.

        I freekin' loved those Bantamweight gunslingers.
        And I was there!
