    Boxing should get rid of all the division below 126lbs

    Agree or disagree?

    A grown man shouldn't be fighting at 106 pounds. Most of the deaths in boxing come at those small weights where guys are draining themselves to that level.

      rehydration is key and the rehydrate weight should be limited, look at donaire he rehydrating to a damn welter weight.

      surprised he hasnt killed someone yet.

      its by % of body weight, thats why as the heavier you get the more the gap the weight class is.

          I often think they should fade a few weight classes out.
          say get rid of 106, 108 and just start at flyweight. I would love boxing to go back to the 8 original weights.

            I don't like the lower weights too much since there are 12 year olds outweighing these guys, but I wouldn't take away their boxing.

                If we did this, we never would have had Manny Pacquiao, Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez, or Marco Antonio Barrera.

                    We wouldn't have Abner Mares, Nonito Donaire, or Guillermo Rigondeaux right now. That's not a boxing world I would like.
