is their too many Weight Divisions in Boxing ?

[-PBP-]

Yes. What if you just eliminate the junior divisions? Think about how much more stacked each division would be.

There are too many people talking about too many weight divisions on too many boxing forums.

TS forgot Canelo's weight class. Canelo-Weight. TS also forgot Chavez Jr's weight class, Chavez-Weight.

Cruiserweight started at 190 as a weightclass for guys who could not quite comfortably get down to 175 but didn't want to fight rock hard guys of 220 pounds or more. It made some sense. When the limit went up to 200 pounds and weigh ins were moved back to the day before the fight it no longer made sense. Guys made the 200 pound limit and came into the ring weighing more than 220 pounds. They were big, full sized heavyweights.

IMO YES

This should be the weight classes IMO
Old School Weight Classes

112-Flyweight
118-Bantamweight
126-Featherweight
135-Lightweight
147-Welterweight
160-Middleweight
175-Light-Heavyweight
200-Cruiserweight
200+ Heavyweight

Yeah, I think it'd be better if we had this divisional breakdown. Except I'd change CW to ~190.

Edit: I don't mind a lighter division like minimum weight added to the list.

I like that list I'd keep jww though, and maybe increase the max limits such as;
Jww 144
Ww 152
Mw 162

There should be a 183lb weight division

I am OK with some of the newer weight classes were there is at least 5 or more pounds difference from the next class. 130 and 140 have been around forever going back to the 1920s. 168 and 154 seem OK too. At the lower weights you have 105 then 108 then 112 then 115 then 118 and then 122. That is way more than needed. 105 then 112 then 118 and then 126 should be enough and they could probably drop 130 as well.

Who the hell cares about that division?

Cruiser weight? It actually has a lot of talent. Problem is, like most divisions, they don't fight one another.
