What is the most irrelevant division from Welter weight and up?

[_Rexy_]

168 is a domestic UK weight class and historically always has been.

I think it’s nice we gave the Brit’s their own weight class. Now the world doesn’t notice how often they quit and get KTFO.

Toss up between SMW/CW

Haha, you’re really dissing those Brits ever since Joshua quit.

168 is totally pointless. Fully of dehydrated LHW's or lazy MW's. Should be binned immediately. They should have:

JMW - 155
MW - 165
LHW - 175

You would see a lot more competitive matchups without SMW. Anyway, the division was basically invented so Leonard and Hearns could win paper world titles. High time they scrapped it.

Then why not scrap 140 which is only 5 pounds over lightweight. Scrap 108,115 and 122 and 130 as well and just leave 112, 118, 126 and 135.

I’ve stepped it up a bit. Was going to just let it slide as another night of boxing until all of his fans started with the conspiracies.

Like getting KTFO by Joey Dawejko with headgear and 18oz gloves is somehow less embarrassing than getting career killed by Andy Ruiz.

Thankfully for them, only DAZN subscribers saw it, which is only about 8000 Americans.

IMO those are fine because they go up by percentages. 168 doesn’t make sense to me though because it’s a baby step to 175 and then back to percentages as it jumps to 200

147/154/160/175/200 keeps the rhythm.

In Europe: welterweight. Nobody really cares. American stuff.

I got no issue with that. Too many weight classes as it is. It just confuses everyone and makes titles worthless.

High time boxing re-organised the weight categories so the belts start to mean something again.

No it was created for Ray Leonard. Brits just dominated it because at the time we had a crop of good MW's who moved up. Benn, Eubank, Watson, Collins etc. Then Calzaghe and Froch came along.

Super middle weight we got a white american champ in Plant.
Billy joe but thats it everything else there is kinda boring Direll is past it. Rameriez has bever been my radar Smith is there but but who is he fighting next? Groves is a waste.

cruserweight is also irrelvant rn Gassiev and Usyk are moving up and Bellew retired but we still got potential in Glowski vs Bredis plus Doctorus is there but Huck and Lebedev are almost retired thoe.
