      Why?

      It would be based on scientific accuracy. You can probably get boxing down to 3 classes at most.

      Imagine the clarity!!

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

        When are you too short to be in a certaing weight-class?
        Exactly, the argument is ridiculous.

        What is "his size"? Light heavyweight, cruiserweight?

        The funny thing is that if he fought people "his own size" he would not be their size, instead he would just be blown up at that weight and placed at a disadvantage.

          So....would Buffer and Lennon announce BMI and bone density instead of height and weight?

            Thats exactly right Shadows.
            Boxing metrics.

            But it obvious my idea is ahead of its time.

            Keep your stinkin' weight classes as they are...

              Change what you want, but leave bantamweight alone.

                  Bantam is a fine class.

                  I don't care what Flicker says though, Hazegawa will not beat Perez.

                  After Perez handles Mares, Mr. Honda needs to bring Hozumi's ass out to L.A so Yonny could whoop him too.


                  Whaddya think about that?

                      I believe Perez's height, skills, and work rate would cause Hasegawa some problems, but Perez has a habit of gravitating towards the ropes and leaning on them. He'll also give up his height from time to time and lean in, and will have a lapse where he drops his hands and backs up, leaving himself open. He needs to tighten up defensively to beat Hasegawa.

                      I think Hasegawa would win a decision, but I remember that thread and sorry, Yonnhy Perez is tough for anyone at 118. I doubt he gets "Sahapromed" as Flicker likes to say.
