Do you have less respect for the "Junior" weightclasses?

[MarcoHooker]

You know, jr bantamweight, jr featherweight etc

Because Welterweight, Middleweight and Featherweight are the glamour divisions so they weight classes below them get a reputation as being a place to build up your name/skills to make a run at the real weight class
or just somewhere to handout if you can't make it in the big leagues

Rondireux would be more well respected imo if he was Featherweight champ, he'd get compared to previous greats and stuff but how it is I'm just wondering when he'll move up

[SlySlickSmooth]

They make boxing hard to grasp. Watching boxing with casuals and they're like "Super.... Lightweight, what is that?" Makes it tough to bring casuals in explaining all this BS.

We already have 1 day early weigh ins, might as well cut the extra classes.

[SouthPawHitman]

I for one,think we need more weight classes.

[BOXEO _]

105 and 108 should be Minimumweight

112 and 115 should be Flyweight

118 and 122 should be Bantamweight

and 126 and 130 should be Featherweight



Guaranteed better fights at the lower weights

all this talk is useless unfortunately.
****ing dumb ass weight classes.
should just have weigh-ins right before the fight.
skills > 10lbs

I heard they used to have same day weigh-ins. When was that? How long ago?

and probably alot more deaths aswell.

I personally see no problem with it to be honest just the way it is now. We still get tons of great fights.

True, I just wish the 4 champs of each division would fight each other.

You are lying/exaggerating. Explaining to someone that multiple sanctioning bodies exist and what body each belt falls under can be complicated, telling someone about a weight class is not.

Casual fans are interested in the fight and what's at stake, yet to come across a casual stumped about the different weight divisions.

About 30 years ago until Mike Spinks' fight against Eddie Mustapha Muhammad was cancelled at the last minute due to EMM not making weight.
