105-118 is the weakest divsions in boxing

[_Rexy_]

The difference between divisions is basically the weight of a good morning s**t. Ridiculous.

118-122lbs = 4 pounds “these midgets don’t count!”
135-140lbs = 5 pounds “real man division.”


let’s be real, if you got rid of all the weight classes below 126, where would Tank find his opponents?

[_Rexy_]

yup 126 should be the lowest this way a guy who's 5-5-5-7 who's 140 can cut down to126.

What does it matter, half the globe fights below 126, and USA fans pretend the divisions don’t exist anyways. It’s only a problem when a small fighter gets some love for once

They should collapse some of the lower divisions, there are too many of them. Especially with four "recognised" belts per division, it's too much dilution.

Actually that not a bad idea. Make it a big @ss division. Combine 105- 115 & 118-126. I'm down with it

Watch a guy like Nonito Donaire, Donnie Nietes, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, Carlos Cuadras, Bam Rodriguez, Chocolatito Gonzalez, or Juan Francisco Estrada box.

Then watch Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk, Andy Ruiz, Zhilei Zhang, Joe Joyce, Joseph Parker, and Deontay Wilder box.

Then tell me what weight class sucks.

Writers and boxing fans have some sick fetish for the little guys. The fact is 105-118 is the weakest division in boxing because the talent pool is very small. 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.

You mean it's not natural for grown men or midgets to weigh so little. It must suck for them to have to shop in the little boy's section for clothes.

I kinda agree, but not really, LOL.

I've talked about it before, but the average man in the world is around 150lbs., that's why welterweight has the most all-time great fighters because the sheer volume of men that size.

Once you start getting 105lb dudes out there, there's just not that many dudes that size in the world.

Even in Africa & Asia the average weight for men is around 130lbs.

They should just go back to the original weight classes for those under 126

108, 112, 118

That's it.

That being said, I love Chocolatito and Inoue and Nonito and those guys, but it's rare that you get guys on that level in those weight classes.

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

Mexico and Latin America loves the lower weight classes as well

LHW to Heavyweight is filled with robotic big stiff idiots or tubs of lards while SMW or lower is more skilled and agile I don't get the hype about Heavyweight

Little guys are the best. They really learn the art as it's for street self defence to beat bully up, and usually they're scared they can be knocked out by big guys with one punch (even if not reality) and unlikely to ko a big man with one punch. So they really have to master the art. Master not getting hit

126-135 yes. But not really below. There's a reason 118 and below dosen't sell and they get paid the least. No demand.
