Should fighters be limited to 5 weights?

[brownpimp88]

I would love to go back go the original weight classes, with the inclusion of cruiserweight.

yep, 9 is good enough. We dont need 108, 115 and 112, etc.

Currently their are about 300 weights for fighters to fight in
Personally i believe there should be less weights and therefore less champions. i believe there should only be these 6:
Flyweight - 112lbs
Lightweight -135lbs
Welterweight -147lbs
Middleweight -160lbs
Light-Heavyweight -175lbs
Heavyweight - (no limit)

do you agree?

I agree, they should cut out the super and junior divisions and less sectioning bodies, there's too many. but, I like the set up you have here, these are the best divisions out there. This is just a suggestion, but what about adding super-heavyweights to that list, they are sometimes exciting to watch, plus if there's no limit in the heavyweights, it would be a total mis-match having a 300 pound fighter, going up against a fighter who's at least 230 lbs., that's just my opinion though.

No, the weights are fine as they are. We need less governing bodies.

I agree bro....m still confused about whats going on with them.

I think the weights are fine as well. Except maybe the 5lbs different weights. Those sometimes are a joke. Featherweight, 126lbs, super featherweight 130lbs! 4 frikin lbs. It gets sometimes ****** though it helps in the long run. The only thing I wish to see is a weight limiter on fight night. Maybe you can't go over 10lbs or something. That's where the real unfair advantages come in. I understand you need to rehydrate yourself and whatnot, though I don't think more than 10lbs is really required. That's just nuts, especially over night. They need weigh-ins ALWAYS on fight night and a limit.

no no
super heavy is a bad idea.

6 is too few, but a few weight classes, mostly the lower ones, can probably be split in half.

I don't like the little guys, so I wish there would be only one weight class for under 135. How many grown men weigh below that anyway??

[brently1979]

I like the idea of a Super Heavyweight Division, where they're not aloud to train. They just get fat and beat the **** out of each other and get puffed out. Oh, sorry we already have that Division now, Heavyweights. This is a really silly thread.

That's a pretty ignorant thing to say. I mean, you can't tell God how you'd like to be born. Some people have high metabolism, some people are short though heavier, or tall though skinnier(like me), and no matter what we try, we can't get bigger or change how we are. Thus giving everyone all these weight classes gives opportunities. In a way, it's like job security for boxing
