If there was only 8 weight classes, what would happen??

i dont think there should be any weight classes. life isn't fair

Im surprised no one came in here and said...."well Floyd wouldnt be a 5 division champ"

traditional divisions

Flyweight (Maximum 112 pounds)
Bantamweight (118)
Featherweight (126)
Lightweight (135)
Welterweight (147)
Middleweight (160)
Light Heavyweight (175)
Heavyweight (unlimited)

How would the Top 10 look like for each divisions. Which fighters would be forced to move down or up

I made something similar to this about lower weight classes, or maybe I intended to and never actually did it, don't remember......I like the idea of weight classes starting at 112, but asking a fighter who walks around at a little over 190 and maybe can't make 175 to fight someone the size of the modern heavyweights is unfair. This is why the Cruiserweight division was established in the first place back in the 70's.

I agree with that and it seems like the perfect size. But that division, even though it's been good lately, has always been a weigh station for the heavyweights and I don't see it changing unless they bring fans and make money there.

They could also change the standards for what Cruiserweight and Heavyweight is......I know many may disagree but adding a super heavyweight division may make things more fair in some ways too, either that or cap off the heavyweight division.

Of coarse since most welterweights are a lot bigger and stronger than him.

1) coarse is a texture, you mean "course"
2) not only "bigger" and "stronger" but also "better"

The End.

i don't mind the weight classes. there are too many ****ing belts

then 8 weight classes would be paralyzed in fear because of Paul Williams.
