Super-middleweight no more necessary than bridgerweight

Canelo can't make 160. He'd have to fight at 175.

Yes he can, he's a manlet who had no need to move up other than clear out a weak division.

The same goes to 140. It traditionally reserved for the guys that are not good enough for 147 or 135. Look how easily Lopez and Haney picked their belts there. Mosley, Mayweather and Pacquiao didn`t lose their time fighting at 140 for too long.

I guaran****ingtee you he can't make 160. But it's a moot point.

He always looks tiny next to other 168lbers, so while in his mid 20s he could make 154 but now he's "too big"? Charlo looked bigger than him and probably is walking around.

I got less problem with 168 existing than 105 existing. Theres not even THAT many 105 boxers. It'd make all the sense in the world to kill 105 more than any other legit division.

In general I'd like to see weight divisions be decided by some same % bump from the smallest to biggest division. That's more fair & makes more sense.

The Bridgerweight thing still doesn't really compute for me. BW is 201 to 224 (iirc), HW is 201+. How the fook do you even have a division inside another division? I'm not saying they should do this but it'd make more sense if they said BW is 201 to 224 & HW is 225+.

if u get rid of 168 do u not have to get rid of 154 as well?

[tonysoprano]

They should get rid of SMW and make MW 165.

Then make LMW 155. So it would go
147
155
165
175

Nice and simple.

[tonysoprano]

If you take out SMW, many MWs would get demolished and badly hurt by the top guys in SMW. Many MWs are nowhere as big and lengthy as benavidez, morell jr, etc...

Benavidez is CW in the ring. So was Callum Smith and Zurich etc. These guys drain to 68 rather than fight where they should. Get rid of 68 and they have to go where they belong.

No he doesn’t look “tiny” he looks short. Why is this so difficult for people to acknowledge?

Unless they changed it, BW is 190-224, but WBA super cruiser is 200-224, and Heavyweight is 201+

So I guess you can be 3 division champ at the same fking time
