    200-175=25 and LHW, CW, and HW ... 3 divisions

    Just, dig these numbers:

    130-105=25=mini, light fly, fly, super fly, bantam, super bantam, feather, super feather = 8 divisions

    160-135=25=light, super light, welter, super welter, middle = 5 divisions

    200-168=32=super middle, light heavy, cruiser = 3 divisions

    As you get bigger you get awarded less in boxing.

        Most man simply aren’t that small. Even in Asia where people usually are espeshort and skinny, 105 is rare for an adult.

          Imagine weighing 105 pounds. A stiff breeze could knock you over. Women look down on you. A light beer gets you wasted. Yeah, I'd be a fighting man too, just raging at the world lol.

            It makes perfect sense:
            • super middleweight - 168 pounds (76 kg.)
            • light heavyweight - 175 pounds (79 kg.)
            • cruiserweight - 200 pounds (91 kg.)
            • heavyweight - above 91 kg.
            Do you see the gap between LHW and cruiser? Then starting the heavyweight from 91 kg. is absurd! Either reform the classes and therefore the super middle, the LHW, the cruiser and the heavy, either leave the brider (91-101 kg.) and make the heavy starting from 101.

            What I agree with is that the current status of the bridger is ****** - a division within the division. From what I know, back then, people didn't like the cruiserweight idea.

            There is no other fighting sport with such inadequate weight divisions. Even if I go out of the fighting ones, they are better established in weightlifting and powerlifting, for example.

            To the topic: I can't tell which division is "the weakest". They all have their highs and lows in time.
            I agree the weight divisions could be cut up better.

            I'm talking about Bridgerweight not even being cut out tho. Its inside of a whole other weight division. Sh^t don't even make sense.

              It's true. Probably they try to slowly make the fighters adopt it. I don't think it's the right way of doing it. Or maybe it's just WBC, where bridgerweight and heavyweight start from the same lower limit, while WBA clearly mentions the bridger between the cruiser and the heavy.

Even small males who are 5-3-5-5 and cut weight come down to about 126-130. 126-135 is competitive because that's where most short man end up at after cutting weight. 105-118 just dosen't have a lot of talent because it's not natural for grown men even midgets to weigh that much.
                    They’re far more talented than the higher weights. Problem is their very light, which means NO POWER, so no knock outs.

                      Those divisions are fine, they may not be popular out in the west but the east loves and supports them.
