All weightclasses below 135lbs should be abolished from boxing

[A.K]

You do realize those guys are short right.. but I do agree 112 and below is jokes.

The problem isn't the extent of the divisions. It's the fact that there's a division every 4 lbs.

Watching 126 lbers refuse to fight "huge" 130 lbers is outrageously depressing.

Yeah that's true. But they say na it's the science behind it doe, from 126 to 130 it's a whopping 950% increase in body weight!

From 108 to 112 is a ridiculous amount of extra muscle to put on bro, that's like a welterweight suddenly moving up heavyweight doe. 108 to 122 we're talking a WW moving up 2,000lbs to fight a great white shark.

What an incredibly ****** thread started by a ****** jerk of a poster who is always starting ****** threads. True boxing fans have been admiring the fighting skills of boxers who weigh less than 135 pounds for over 100 years before your ****** self was born. If you don't like boxers who fight at less than 135 pounds then don't watch their fights. It's that simple. ******.

It's funny. Most of us on this forum could pick up Chocolatito and toss him. Could you imagine the story you could tell?

"Yeah I was talking to some chick minding my own business, when her boyfriend came over very mad. I was shocked as the guy is regarded as the best boxer in the world"

'Oh Sh|t what happened?'

"I picked him up by the scruff of his pants and tossed him out the window"

damn wheres the love for short guys. they can't go to NFL or NBA. let them fight. "real men shouldn't weigh that" really. well tell me what does a "real man" is supposed to weigh then? Pacquiao is like 5'5" but I bet you ain't picking him up and throwing him out no window. you'll be eating knuckles like skittles.

Hardcore, delusional boxing fan:

Not true, we'd stand no chance, RG is like Goku to us, you can't see him he moves too fast, his power would be too much for your 160lb-200lb self. And you can't grab him like you say because he can actually fly. You can't put him in a headlock because he has the strength of an ant, he could pick up a truck if he wanted, so he's gonna pick you up with ease. If you try hiding behind a car in fear, it won't matter, he has x-ray vision, he sees you. If you punch him with all your weight behind it, he will just smile and ask "Haven't you seen me take bombs from superhumans like Estrada and Cuadras? What makes you think you can hurt me?".

I just looked it up, human male body weight in the entire world is 136.7lb on average. But it varies by country, in the US it's 194.7 (also has the highest % of overweight people in the world) for males.

The lightest people on average come from Asia, at 127lbs. The largest people come from North America at 177lbs. Looks like the healthiest people weight wise come from Asia and Africa.

So 135 - Lightweight is actually the average for a man on Earth. If you are below that you have crossed over to female territory.

This isn't even an original troll thread. You can find the exact same nonsense on every major MMA forum with the same arbitrary cutoff.
