So 17 by 4 organisations = 68 titles!!!! WTF!!!

Yes boxing may or is as popular but too many different divisions.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission has designated limits for nine different weight classes in mixed martial arts. Fighters must be weighed in lb:[3]
Weight class name Upper limit in lb Equivalent in kg
Flyweight 125 lb 57 kg
Bantamweight 135 lb 61 kg
Featherweight 145 lb 66 kg
Lightweight 155 lb 70 kg
Welterweight 170 lb 77 kg
Middleweight 185 lb 84 kg
Light Heavyweight 205 lb 93 kg
Heavyweight 265 lb 120 kg
Super Heavyweight No upper weight limit

The UFC currently uses five weight classes:
Lightweight: 146 to 155 lb (66 to 70 kg)
Welterweight: 156 to 170 lb (71 to 77 kg)
Middleweight: 171 to 185 lb (78 to 84 kg)
Light Heavyweight: 186 to 205 lb (84 to 93 kg)
Heavyweight: 206 to 265 lb (93 to 120 kg).

Non-title fights have a one pound leniency. In addition, there are four other weight classes specified in the Unified Rules which the UFC does not currently use:
Flyweight: under 126 lb (57 kg)
Bantamweight: 126 to 135 lb (57 to 61 kg)
Featherweight: 136 to 145 lb (62 to 66 kg)
Super Heavyweight: above 265 lb (120 kg).


Tighten the weight divisions make them smaller more boxers going for less titles, this means people need to work to get recognised and stay at the top, too many paper titles and easy matches for titles are being allowed.

I watch both and am a fan of both. I have done martial arts all my life and see the appeal of both, but I have nothing to look forward too in boxing, im living in the past watching SRL, Hagler, even Tyson and Lewis. Wake up boxing and smell the corruption and decay cos your paydays will be slipping by in a couple of years time.

Aw **** thats on my tv right now hahhaa its on comcast sports net, fox whatever you wanna call it. Just thought it was some pre recorded bull**** cuz they played Soto's last fight last sunday that happened in may. good good ****!

But it's still boring to the casual point of few. I enjoy any boxing fight but you always want to too those big huge fights that mean alot and where just not getting them because of all the menstral cycle cycles going around in the sport.

If the casual point of view found Andrade vs. Valadez boring then boxing isn't the sport for them.

I get what's being posted here, I'm the first to say boxing is the best sport, but has the worst infrastructure. What gets me is that people are complaining while there's a card going on and these 2 went to war tonight.

This summer is boring for boxing but that's just one season.

I would choose boxing summer 2010 over the boring World Cup Talks.

May-Pac threads>World Cup


If it wasn't for Mayweather and Pacquiao threads I would be dead by now.

Y'all should stop talking this hardcore fan bull**** when instead of talking of watching an all action slugfest with huge momentum by 2 undefeated prospects that just ended, you're over here posting about how boring it is.

Just gotta watch the fights and not get caught up in all the bull**** politics. I'm looking forward to FNF"s tomorrow.

[King Koopa]

Agreed...........but all hope is not lost

As long as the grim reaper (bad judges) doesn't appear, we'll be ok.

**** Floyd and Manny, until the fight is signed...there should be NO news on neither one

**** the Klitschkos for their upcoming bouts...


NBA bout to lock out
NFL possibly locking out


SPORTS is sucking right now, I'm going back to videogames

[STRUGG]

too much power / interest on PAC/PBF.....................................obviously makes the sport a lot boring....................problem is they wont fight........
