Revising and reducing boxing's weight divisions.
I believe most of us lads(and lasses)agree that seventeen are FAR too many weight classes;however,boxing has failed to recognize that men are getting larger,even in Asian and Latin countries.Here are eleven revised weight classes
which I think will rectify that situation.(although,unfortunately,not the multi-
ple-champs problem.)
1.Paperweight Division:104 lb.(47 kg.)
2.Strawweight Division:112 lb.(50.8 kg.)
3.Flyweight Division:120 lb.(54.4 kg.)
4.Bantamweight Division:128 lb.(58 kg.)
5.Featherweight Division:140 lb.(63.5 kg.)
6.Lightweight Division:154 lb.(70 kg.)
7.Welterweight Division:168 lb.(76.2 kg.)
8.Middleweight Division:184 lb.(83.7 kg.)
9.Light Heavyweight Division:200 lb.(90.7 kg.)
10.Cruiserweight Division:224 lb.(102 kg.)
11.Heavyweight Division:224+lb.(102+kg.)
How 'bout those divisions,fellow fight fans?
