    height-classes?

    I keep hearing that P-Will is too big to be at WW. But, if he can make weight then how is he too big? Because, he is tall? But, we have weight-classes not height-classes. So for anybody who thinks that P-Will is too tall to be at WW then can you answer the following questions for me.

    When are you too tall to be in a certain weight-class?

    When are you too short to be in a certaing weight-class?

    It's a ridiculous argument.

        And, what makes it more ridiculous is that they only single out P-Will. They never mention Caballero or Funeka. I never heard any problem with Corrales and Oscar beign at 130.

              Weight classes are an antiquated relic from boxing's primitive era.

              The future is is body type classes.

              If you're 5'8 like Cotto you fight at guys that look like you at 5'8.

              You wouldn't fight 5'9 guys like Abraham. You would fight Randal Bailley.


              Body type classes are the future of the sport.

              No mismatches will be possible.

                  Dude. I'm not joking.

                  It would be totally scientific, you would have to take bone measurements and body mass etc....

                  The days of artificially blown up guys fighting bigger guys would be over.
