        I don't even know where to start with this crap. There are too many lighter divisions but the rest are fine.

            I agree. I would actually add one division.

            As crazy as it may sounds I would have a Heavyweight division (200-220) and a Super Heavyweight Division (220+).

            Too many good fighters like Eddie Chambers are coming into fights at weights they shouldn't. Eddie Chambers should be fighting at 205-210, but because the average weight of heavyweights is higher now, he doesn't feel the need to trim the extra pounds. I think we're missing out on great fights that used to happen right around 200-210.

              The MW division is too tight, it needs to be stretched out more. The SMW division is pointless, although there needs to be a JMW division.

                  i like the idea, would make a bigger number of good fights happening, and it might help to eliminate/reduce all this dumb catchweight crap
