Should boxing take out a few divisions

[shonuff488]

110 Flyweight
120 Bantamweight
130 Featherweight
140 Lightweight
150 Welterweight
160 Middleweight
175 Light Heavyweight
190 Cruiserweight
200-250 Heavyweight

Get rid of all the juniors and supers.

Have one champion per division.

Heavyweights have to start making weight.

A top 20 contenders for the champ type ranking system, for each division. Updated once every month.

You can have catchweight fights, but no catchweights for titles.

All of these things would make boxing better, and more popular in the mainstream in my opinion.

Why do that?

Removing anything would just create catchweights left and right

Because I'm tired of seeing fat asses like Chris Arreola.

The Klitschko's both fight at or around 245. So this shouldn't be a problem at all for them.

All junior and supers should go. Go back to the old days. Better champions, better fights, and would help the sport because it would be easier to remember the champions. 32 champions is a lot easier to remember than 72.

I don't think so. You just wouldn't see as much jumping around divisions. You either fight in a certain division or you don't.

If boxers don't change their weight divisions, then all weight classes would become Hopkins type reigning. Klitschkos at HW beating bums, RJJ beating bums at LHW, Hopkins beating bums for 10 years at MW. Boxing would decline substantially. Most anticipated fights today are Klitschko-Haye, Pac-Floyd, all those guys naturally don't belong to the same weight class. Welterweight has been the most exciting division last few decades. All because champions coming from lower weight divisions and messing with the welterweight champions, like Duran, Whitaker, DLH, Pac, PBF, SSM. Most of these guys resume wasn't much impressive until they came to WW. Well I'd rather see Hopkins fighting at catchweight against DLH, Wright, Pavlik and moving around weights to challenge Tarver, Pascal, then sitting in his paper belts fighting bums.
