    Get rid of the Jr./Super/ divisions.......your either in a division or not....they're all (most of them) professional atheltes....if they don't have the discipline to stay at a weight...then don't choose professional boxing as your career.

        we should just have featherweights, lightweights, welterweights. middleweights, lightheavyweights, cruiserweights (even though this division sucks) and then heavyweights. oh and only 2 titles per division that matter. the wba and the wbc cuz those are the best looking belts.

          I would combine 105, 108, and 112 into a 110 division.

            When I read the title I thought about Cruiserweight. So Cruiserweight it is.

              Flyweight and Bantamweight are not bad either. Get rid of CW.

                Following on from this, it really would be awesome to go back to having eight weight classes (flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight, lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, light heavyweight, heavyweight) and only one world title per weight class. Divisions would be so much more competitive with far less cherry-picking going on, and winning (or even fighting for) a world title would mean so much more.

                      cruiserweight is actually my favorite division. for me, Cruiserweight > Heavyweight. I love this division because all the fighters have almost as much power as the HW's, except they are more technical, faster, and there is a much higher work rate(more action).

                      I would much rather watch a CW fight than a HW fight.

                      but to answer your question, the divisions that I want to see gone are: 168, 154, 140, 130, 122, 115, 108.

                      All the fighters in these divisions should merge up or down. There are just way too many divisions in boxing and it just doesn't make sense. competition is SEVERELY and unnecessarily watered down in this sport.
