No, the new weight classes are mainly pretty good. I think it creates fairer matchups. Take Hatton and Judah for example, they would be very weight drained for lightweight and they have no business at welter, so it's fair to put them at 140. What I don't like to see is weigh ins the previous day as it allows people to blow up by up to a stone.

However, there are too many belts. But so long as the sanctioning bodies are making money they will be there!

*However I do agree that at the lower weights are maybe a bit cramped, I mean some of them are seperated by what, 2 pounds?*

Also, I think Cruiserweight is a good addition to the weight classes.
