    It's fine the way it is. We just need same day weigh-ins to weed out weight manipulators.

      ABC organizations take a fee every time a belt holder fights.

      If there are less weight divisions, less belt holders, they make less money.

      They wont get rid of any divisions.

        I agree with this.

          Really ignorant of you to post a comment like that.

          The 154 and 168 Divisions are not original weight divisions.
          They are also not needed.

            154 has a good history now . True, it's like a pitstop for great fighters.

              Personally I'd prefer to see Loma test his amateur pedigree against Anthony Joshua's, and given the speed difference between the two I'd say it's a fair matchup.

                I think its a bad idea. The jump from 160 to 175 is huge. I don't think there have been any middleweights since Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins who have been able to do it and win titles.

                    Agreed. But we would have seen guys like Froch staying at MW his whole career. That is a treat to see.

                    Guys like Ward would have been 175 originally and might have had a great trilogy with Kovalev.

                    And a SHYT LOAD of talent would be packed into 147.
