Am I the onlyone who thinks their outa be a HEIGHT limit for each division?

I mean these huge fighters like p williams fighting at welterweight its ridiculous. I think the limit should be 5'10 maybe 5'10 1/2.

Quintana showed that its very possible to beat Williams.

Just cause someone is very tall doesn't guarantee them the victory. The weight is the important thing. While having advantages being tall has disadvantages as well. It is usually easier for the shorter person to work effectively on the inside. That's just one example I won't go into great detail. Kind of a dumb question really.

I think there should be a **** size limit in each weight class.

hahahahahahahaha

It's not a foolish question...I've had the thought myself a few times, when I see someone like Wlad against someone the size of Toney. It happens, but in lower weight classes it doesn't matter as much because of the weight limits themselves. You can only gain so much weight and be competetive with someone else who's taller but more slender and weighs the same, so it evens out pretty well.

In the heavyweight division, however, there have been size mismatches since time began. The problem with setting other limits (or creating another weight class, "Superheavyweight") is that it would wreak havoc with competition.

These 'too tall' threads are gettin annoying as hell.

I agree! I think it's about the ******est statement I've heard on this site. If you make the weight you deserve to fight in the weight class. Alot of times the clash of styles are due to the height differences. That's what keeps things interesting.

then calzaghe would have to fight at flyweight.

[KingTito]

If you can make the weight, then you should be able to fight. I've never had a problem with P-Will doing that.

[AKATheMack]

Its actually harder for tall fighters to make weight so if they're willing to work HARDER in the gym why shouldnt they benefit from it?

[FloydsEra]

no, they should check the weight an hour before a fight

Give me a break! Tyson in his prime would have KO'd both klitches, and that other 7' foot russian monster! All three are world champs as of now. Tyson was shorter than Margarito(welterweight) too at 5' 10" 1/2. He would use his build to his advantage getting inside where the opponents length was not a threat and devistate inside with short powerfull punches. Don't dare mention Lewis either......That wasn't "TYSON" fighting that night and you know that.
