If We Went Back To Eight Divisions...

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Rigo would be at 126 right away.

Canelo could keep on with CW's but would be looked down on even more.

DeGale, Jack and Ramirez would have to look at fighting Kovalev, Stevenson and Ward.

Lebedev, Huck and Glowacki would be heavyweights.

Cotto would have to fight at middleweight or cw of course.

[Marcov]

Light heavyweights would be squashed by heavyweights.

[Zaroku]

If boxing returned to the original eight divisions, think of all the match-ups that could be made since so many fighters would be in each division and would be forced to fight each other.

We'd have Viktor Postol, Tim Bradley, Terence Crawford, Ruslan Provodnikov, Lucas Matthysse, Adrien Broner, Jesse Vargas, Kell Brook, Manny Pacquiao, Amir Khan, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, Diego Chaves and Danny Garcia all competing for the same world title. How many awesome match-ups would that produce?

Pac, Oscar , Floyd and others wouldn't look so great to young dumb fans.

Don't believe the hype!!

[DreamerUSA]

8 divisions + 1 champion per division would be nuts.

I'll add same day weigh ins and have to agree with Pug, that the cruiserweight division is needed these days.

Haha. No more 8 division champs!

[hoe_train]

[jas]

Would just be even more catchweight fights

I'd like to go with the MMA divisions. I think they are better spread out with less focus on the lil guys which few hardcore fans even care about & no casuals give a f#ck about.

265, 205, 185, 170, 155, 145, 135 & 125. Sorry Ricardo Lopez & future Ricardo Lopez's if I was President of Boxing.

I actually don't have trouble with the number of categories, i got it with the number of belts, i would like to see same day weight in, so we can start seen fighters in their real weight, Hagler was 157 on fight night, fighters like Crawford weight that on fight night.

I would have flyweight as the minimum weight, then the rest is fine for me.
