    If fighters fought at or around their natural weight

    What would the divisions look like if fighters fought at or around their natural weight? By that I mean, if fighters didn't try and cut a lot of weight, but rather dedicated themselves to a year-round regimen and stayed in shape. Personally, I think that boxing would have a crazy amount of talent between super-middleweight and light-middleweight--not to mention a lot of interesting fights. What do you all think?

    99% of fighters would just move north 15lb. The ones that are already in shape all the time and don't drain would feel like king kong fighting the naturally same sized guys.

        That's true. But what about all the fighters at light welterweight? I think most of them would be fighting up at 154. At welterweight, fighters like Ortiz, Thurman, and Berto would probably be fighting at 160.

            In their primes Floyd would be a 140 lb'er, Manny and Marquez would be welterweights oddly enough;.

              Chavez Jr would be getting ko'd by Marco Huck like he should if he were fighting men his own size.
