The lower weight classes in boxing are a joke

[Nubian King]

From 105 to 130.

130 lb (59.0 kg)
126 lb (57.2 kg)
122 lb (55.3 kg)
118 lb (53.5 kg)
115 lb (52.2 kg)
112 lb (50.8 kg)
108 lb (49.0 kg)
105 lb (47.6 kg)

These weight classes are a mockery to our great sport. The difference are minimal and pointless. What is the point of having weight classes when the difference is just 4 to 3 pounds. All weight classes should have a minimum 5 pounds difference. Gaining and losing 4 to 3 pounds is nothing.


IMO it should be

105
110
115
120
125
130

I think it has to do with power/speed ratio of the lower-weight fights. As well as dehydration/rehydration cycle that most boxers take advantage of. So 3-4 lbs is enough to cause an advantage. I can't really explain it but check out Sanchez-Gomez(Gomez up 4lbs) or more recently Darchiryan-Agbeko(Darch up 3lbs). It does make a difference.

Another proof that 3-4 lbs does make a difference is the catchweight provision on the jmm-pbf fight or the proposed pac-cotto fight.

I agree but I think it should go.

105, 115, 125, 140, 160, 175, 200 and up.

Too many ***in weight classes right now is ***ing up the sport and loading it w/ a bunch of fake ass paper champions.

How am I being an idiot? I think the sport of boxing has way too many divisions and something should be done about it
