    What weight divisions and belt would you ELIMINATE!?

    Shout out to 78sportstv. Seeing his vids gave me the idea to make this thread. It's Simple. Too many divisions. Too many belts. Not enough good quality fights.

    Weight Divisions:
    WBA/WBC/IBF/WBO
    Heavyweight-Unlimited
    Cruiserweight- 200 lbs
    Light heavyweight- 175 lbs
    Super middleweight- 168 lbs
    Middleweight- 160 lbs
    Super welterweight/Junior middleweight- 154 lbs
    Welterweight- 147 lbs
    Super lightweight/Junior welterweight- 140 lbs
    Lightweight- 135 lbs
    Super featherweight/Junior lightweight- 130 lbs
    Featherweight- 126 lbs
    Super bantamweight/Junior featherweight- 122 lbs
    Bantamweight- 118 lbs
    Super flyweight/Junior bantamweight- 115 lbs
    Flyweight- 112 lbs
    Light flyweight/Junior flyweight- 108 lbs
    Minimumweight/strawweight/mini flyweight- 105 lbs

    Also there are too many titles going around
    WBA- Super World, Super, Regular, Interum
    Seriously to me those are ridiculous. Three "legit" champs and an interum.

    I would ELIMINATE all the "junior" and "super" weight catagories. Have a belt system set up with interum champs and ONE "legit" champ at the division. Interum champs can use that belt sort of like the brits do, that when they challenge for a world title the interum becomes vacant up for the next set of fighters to fight for it and get a shot at the "legit" champ of the perspective organizations.

    What are ya thoughts? Would ya do the same eliminating certain weight classes and why?

    You could leave the divisions and just eliminate most of the belts (even getting rid of 1 organization would be huge)

      We can't even agree on a single name. It's ridiculous watching a fight with casuals when one day it might be called "Super Lightweight" and the next is "Light Welterweight"

      They'll think they're two totally different weight classes.

        I'd merge all the belts into one and keep the weight classes as they are.

          All super/junior divisions

          All "super champion" and "silver champion" crapola

          One alphabet belt sounds nice on paper but once someone like Al Haymon got their hands on it, you would suddenly understand why we have 4+

            Makes sense to me. Id still call it the WBC though. Instead it would stand for World Boxing Champion! One champ. One title. Each division

              Cruiserweight.... they should all just invade the hw division already, at least it would make for some interesting fights.....the super/junior divisions dont bother me, and i think they should leave the major 4 belts, and get rid of the interim and super champ crap....wbo is the baby of them all, but has developed into one of the major titles by having fighters such as the duke, and vitali as their champ....all the regional titles belong too.

                Go back to the original weights and get rid of supers and juniors divisions.

                  one belt per division. I get rid of the super/junior divisions. You could then adjust the weights of the regular divisions. Maybe move LW up to 140, WW up to 152,MW to 165.

                    If we could narrow it down to 1 belt per division that shows who the true champ is, then having all these divisions wouldn't seem so bad in my opinion.
