WBC - Way Beyond Credibility?

I’m okay with the idea of adding a new weight class but bridger weight sounds dumb.

Super cruiserweight sounds better.

Or cruiserweight, heavyweight, super heavyweight

Or HeavyLightHeavyweight...

Logically and scientifically by percentage increments. Not haphazardly with 2 or 3 pounds separating the light weight classes, or 7 pounds for light heavy (168-175), and then jump to 25, 50, 100, unlimited for heavies.

Yes. This is how I personally think it should be done. I think there also needs to be stricter regulations regarding hydration the day of the fight. Fighters should not be able to drop 20 pounds then balloon up fight night giving them a serious weight advantage. Too many younger fighters do this because they can while the older fighters bodies can no longer do so.

Yes I totally agree. Many times i see fights, especially in the middle weight classes, where one looks like he outweighs the other by 10, 15, or 20 pounds, Lopez vs Lomachenko for instance. Also some fighters will do extreme and unhealthy jockey-style weight loss regimes to make weight, dehydration, saunas, etc. Weigh in should be at fight time, or at least the day of the fight!

These are really all logical common sense fixes, but such things have no place in the world of crooked boxing...and speaking of that I just watched Sammy "the bull" Gravano's testimony before the senate about organized crime involvement in the sport. It's online if you haven't seen it. And of course nothing was done.

First off The name has to change , It just seems fake like the franchise Champion , *** Belt or the strap they’re having made for Tyson / Jones.


If Sauliman actually created this division for fighters safety and not for more Sanctioning fees then at least get rid of the 2 bottom Weightclasses where fighters must be either a midget , pre pubescent Girl , Concentration Camp Prisoner or live in a 3rd World Country that’s suffering from famine

Still waiting to find out if they’re gonna strip Makabu unless he drops 10lbs. What a ****show
