That's back to 8 divisions but with heavies now more regulated and weigh-ins on fight night. Today's athletes are bigger, faster and stronger. Somebody mentioned Primo Carnera, lol. That guy fought about 90 years ago.
Just an idea I had after hearing about a fighter who died in the ring. I think a lot of the guys who have died in a boxing match struggled to make weight. The dehydration weakens these guys, making blows to the head even more dangerous.
This is correct. And there are significantly less deaths at HW because the guys don't need to cut weight. Under your system, you'd have guys in the 240's boiling down to make 220
There is zero reason to break a division. Wilder is not a huge heavyweight at all, he is not very heavy and he had been a world champ with a reign of 5 years or so?
I mean, 100 years ago Dempsey made Willard, a huge hw than, quit in his corner after 3th round.
