    you've got it the wrong way around!

    they are all small guys but 10 lbs means ALOT in the lower weights but to a heavy 10lbs is nothing. it is less than 5% of a heavies weight but nearly 10% for lighter weights.

    jumping up 30 lbs is like one of the current heavies fighting valuev (if valuev wasn't very slow a terrible boxer and could punch! )

      its debatable. I just think it's easier to move up in the lower weight classes where the size and weight differences isnt that dramatic as say going from middleweight to heavyweight.
