[moltres.]

Lol I see why you in the red. Get rid of welterweight division. You’re out your damn mind

you didnt read it properly and i didnt write it well.

i said 135, 140, 147,154....get rid of 140.

160, 168, 175, get rid of 168.

go back and read it you reject.

Super Heavyweight have been discussed on this forum before and many was all for it. I would be OK with that especially when you now have fighters like Jarrell Miller who are 300+lbs Fight Night. You did see how his weight is a huge advantage vs Gerald Washington who is not a small man. Miller walked through all of his punches. 250 and a Above for Super Heavy I would have ZERO problem with that.

I think problem that most have is that it is a Belt Organization trying to do it and we all know it is all about Fees for them! This should be done by the Athletic Commission not a Belt Organization.

Co-sign the f#ck outta this.

I don't think people really realize there are 9 of the f#cking 17 divisions between 105-135. 30lbs carry more than half of the divisions in boxing. And according to boxrec many of those 9 divisions are the least populated divisions in boxing.

Yeah and I seriously doubt that any of the contenders at 108 or 105 actually weigh less than 112 lbs in the ring anyway. There's no good reason why e.g. Tanaka and Kyoguchi shouldn't be in the same division competing for the same titles

Please don't do it.

How many HW's are under 220??? Look at Mike Perez, he went from 240 to 200 when he got in shape. This is unnecessary. The few "small" HW's out there could get down to 200 if they want, but the money is at HW and would remain at super HW if they made this move. If anything this would dilute the fantastic CW division by bringing some of those bigger guys up a weight. All the HW's nowadays weight at least 230, they are all big dudes. Just leave it as is

... it makes sense...
Wilder (WBC) was 222 vs Washington...
Joshua was 250 vs Wlad...

You are right. An overreaction from me. I really Hope WBC dont do this. If they do then I Hope the other ABC org dont follow.

But yeah, agree. I would never Watch a WBC fight Again. They Are The worst. We be Crooks

What's just as bad is they have Ricardo Mayorga fighting some Russian for a WBC belt next month.... Yes, I said Mayorga.

Sometimes one thinks the WBC or whomever just sit around in a room and think 'in which other ways can we really damage the sport of boxing and drive it to extinction?'. The F word is more appropriate but yeah, just ridiculous to add more rubbish to boxing, whom so few people watch anyway, maybe once or twice a year, from the general public.

Joe Louis fought the giant Primo Carnera and stopped him, so why should they worry about bigger guys having the advantage when those huge ones are either too fat or just robots like Klitschko that can n were beaten.

[Madison Boxing]

yeah cause there isnt enough divisions already is there....
