Would boxing be better with 154 pound division?

[jmrf4435]

It would make 160 better and there would be less 147-160 catch weight BS. Also, I find this weight creates a lot of problems. You have 147 guys who take on 154 guys, but the 154 guys never want to move up to 160.

It's a divisions that in my opinion, is causing problems. It's not just Canelo GGG. The Charlos would be great additions to 160, so would Andrade...

Sorry, I read that 4 times and still can't figure out what you're talking about....

Edit; Wait, did you mean to say "without"?

He wanta to get rid of the 147 and 160 division and all those guys move up or down to 154.

Boxing would be better without junior divisions period.

I'm assuming you meant without*

First things first, eliminating weight classes won't do a damn thing without the following:

1. Bring back same-day weigh-ins. You'll have more fighters fighting closer to their real weight.

2. Boxing would be better with one belt per weight class, not less weight classes. If you get rid of 3 major titles and only leave one, that eliminates a lot of issues.

3. 154 is fine, it lets WW's who are too big for WW but undersized for MW be able to continue making weight in a healthy manner.

Get rid of 154, just have 147 or 160

I think that most of the guys at 154 are big enough to fight at 160. And also, by eliminating weight classes, the belts for that weight class would surely follow?

exactly. lets go back to the original 8 weight classes.

Why would eliminating weight classes eliminate sanctioning bodies? WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF are all here to stay. Eliminating 154 or all junior divisions will not make them go away.

Priority should be on one belt per weight class, this will equal one champion = better fights.

Another problem is the sanctioning bodies rankings, they are always full of hot garbage fighters. I mean look at Thurman's mando, Lamont Peterson? What??? Lol, and you say weight classes are the issue? Hell no.
