    We should merge some weight classes. Heavyweights proved it will be fine.

    I am aware of the fact that at 200+.. the weight difference is not quite as big of a factor as it is at the lower weight divisions.. but I am sure a lot of these weight classes could be merged.

    168-175 should be 1 weight class. Carl Froch fighting Chad Dawson does not look out of place. Andre Ward can fight 175 LBERS now with out losing any size advantage.


    130-135 need to be merged and 140-147 need to be merged.

    A lot of these 140 Pound fighters are actually bigger than some of the 147 Pound fighters..


    154 needs to be extinct.. you either stop eating so much and go down to 147 or bulk up to 160.
    Why the hell are there so many weight classes. It's ******ed.

          I support this proposal. Many small men claim that size doesn't matter. Now it's time for them to man up.

            I say middleweight should actually be middleweight (in the middle), why do we have 4 divisions above middleweight and 12 below it? Ridiculous!
