I don't know all the names. So you have to cut me some slack on that.

[The Problem]

People tend to be much fatter/bulkier now days. Have you seen the welterweights in the UFC?

[Spirit]

no they're about the same, you've got some freakishly tall fighters on that list who always stood out for being tall, except for the mid 90's fighters who all moved up multiple divisions and were pretty successful doing so. welterweights that had moved up in the past couple of years had short lived reigns or fought at catchweights

They are maybe shorter, but look more muscular. Just look how Berto looks in the ring.
