How about height classes or catchheights?

[mannysavage]

Has this ever been discussed? If categorized correctly it could be the way of the future in boxing.

No dude wtf are u thinking, some guys are just naturally tall and lanky while some are short and stocky thats just genetics mate

For example Willie Nelson is 6'3 @ 154lbs, and hes a naturally skinny guy
While someone like Avtandil Khurtsidze is 5'4 @ 160lbs and hes built like a big boned tank

I usually agree with you SoutPawHitman but this "idea" doesnt make any sense

I can understand someone might come to the idea of height classes. But what is it with that catchheights? Do you cut someones bones short and lengthen another ones? Come on, man...

Height classes is a joke right?

I like the idea

Kell Brook can fight David Tua in the 5 foot 9 to 5 foot 10 height class.

David Tua is retired tho

shoe lifts for the shorter one and the taller one has to crouch. Easy solution

Thats the point, it is just plain unfair for Khurtsidze to overcome such a dramatic height difference. Its ridiculous to expect him to get past the long jabs and to generate power against taller opponents.

Willie Nelson shouldnt pick on midgets and fight guys his height like Murat Gassiev or Alexander Povetkin.
level playing field

Horrific idea. Tyson-Corrales is the type of match you wanna see? Smh.

Seems legit.
