    What kind of joke is this?
    How bout you fight at the weight you naturally come in. Whats the point of dropping 25 pounds of "in between fight" weight only to put 10 or 15 pounds on after the friday weigh in.
    Its dishonest and only serves to give the alphabets more paper champions and more revenue.
    I got an idea. Lets go lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight. Period.
    Boxing isnt about weight anyway, its about skill. This has been proven time and time again.
    Lets stop bull****ting the public with all the weights when the fighters never come in at the division their supposedly fighting at. Well, actually, oscar did...and he looked like hell.

    Lightweight-125-150
    middle-150-185
    heavy-185 and up (dempsey and louis weighed 185 and kicked ass on guys 6'6 250+ on a regular basis)

    problem solved.
    And for those who think those weights are too wide. Man up. The heavy weights do it all the time.
    this is a bad idea

      Which is ridiculous why Hatton does not want to face Cotto or Shane Mosley, or any Welter.

      Considering he is naturally alot bigger than them anyway.

              Agree with this.

              Having only 3 weight classes would be a complete joke. There are currently too many, but the solution is not to remove them all. A better solution would to be make certain rules, like Malcolm said in the quote above.

                    Then people wont be able to be multiple division champions like there always has been, and imagine a little guy who struggles make like 125 or 130 facing a 150 guy.
