accomplishments under 150 lbs shouldn't count as much as 150+

[HeadShots]

the fact is how many men you know that are under 150 lbs? how could a man claim greatness when he's best fights are at 130lbs-140lbs. there are no men that size in the real world. these men are like 1% of the population.


if i saw a 140 lb man in public i'd point at him and start laughing. magical woodland creatures.

the most competitive division will always be the middleweight to cruiser. that is where most men in the world weigh. they will have a lot more contenders leading to more competitiveness. it's simply mathematics.

So you don't like it that little guys get more recognition and you want that privilege taken away from them? How about Floyd's accomplishments or Pacquiao's? Andre Ward must be greater than them by your own logic, because their standard of accomplishment is not parallel to yours.

The name headshots makes sense. You've obviously taken a few too many.

They’re shorter but they have a lot of talent that makes for entertaining fights and high outputs. Also those who walk around at 140 fight at 126-130, almost everyone drops 15-10 pounds for weigh ins.

Of all the ****** things I heard in boxingscene , this takes the cake. At least most of the ****** things we've heard are trolling, but this dude seems to believe his own words.

i see a lot of welfare merchants don't recognize mathematics as a part of logical discussion.

And what part of mathematics that I don't recognize? If we go by mathematical discussion Little guys still takes the cake in terms of weight climbing.

the fact is. Pacquiao has the highest weight climb of all fighters in boxing history, 12 weight classes, along with SRR, Floyd, Floyd climb 17 pounds, SRR climb 30 pounds, Pacquiao climb 41 pounds.

And only a handful of fighters beyond 147 have ever climbed more than 10+ pounds.

The weight, let's way 140 pounds is the weight on the scale. Dehydrated and in top with no unnecessary fat.

If those guys didnt have to make weight, and go to the gym to put on weight. They would be significantly heavier.
