Remodifying Weight Divisions

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

It would be really difficult for everyone to adapt to these changes. They are just names, but they've been names associated with numbers and psyhique for decades. While it could be good for the sport's cleanup, it could also be bad for marketing the sport and losing fans.

If the fans can't except seven champions, then Boxing don't need them. They're a large part of the problem and I don't think anyone will shed tears losing them.

You clean up the sports by fixing the alphabet belt problem. Unfortunately a lot of people ignore the divisions below 135 anyway.

The alphabet and the weight problem has been the #1 concern with this sport. Weight is easier to tackle, because even if you still have the ABCs, it'll be a lot easier to know who their champions are.

He cant make 160. Vernon Forrest said it best on FNF. He could make 149, but those last two pounds would take something out of him. Just a couple of pounds go a long way.

Then he needs to switch trainers or learn proper dietary technique. That or go up. There will be no compromise.

I still disagree with taking out the "super/junior" divisions. Its not fair when guys like Pavlik can cut weight and make 160, while guys like Winky Wright, who would have to lose an arm an a leg to make 147 are forced to be the small guy at 160. The promoters and boxers know this, and they'll never change it.

If they do then they should have rules in the contract for specific weights when the belts are on the line. Like the Middleweight Championship can be anywhere from 147-160 and the fighters will make an agreemant on where the catch weight will be at.

It wont be long before Oscar gets The Ring recognized as the top belt in the sport. When that happens, the media can ignore the organizations all together.

Then they're ****** then. Wink can fight Lightweight and if he has problems adapting, he might as well try for another sport.

Defeats the purpose of having seven titles and makes way for excuses.
