Srs Question: Should there really be weight divisions?

It's not a Computer Game

Sh it, even Fight Night wouldn't let me put a middleweight in with a heavy

[Prince Madison]

to be fair the thread starter is going to get slaughtered for this but lots of people on here seem to disregard weight classes anyway with the 'golovkin needs to fight ward at light heavy to prove himself' 'lomachenko needs to fight crawford at 140 to prove himself' bull****. I know it goes both ways and people were saying the same thing with mayweather having to go up every weight class to prove himself.

It's possible Ward could have had limited success against guys towards the bottom of the heavyweight top 10-15, but Crawford would get destroyed by any top 30 heavyweight.

No. Other than Joshua/Fury/Klitschko, none of those other guys at heavy can hang with Ward.

You really gonna tell me with a straight face that Charles Martin can beat Andre Ward? Eric Molina? Lmao.

Martin & Molina are not top ten heavyweights. Here is the current TBRB top 10:

AJ
Wilder
Parker
Pulev
Povetkin
Whyte
Takam
Miller
Breazeale
Bellew


Once you start getting into the bottom half of the top 10, you start getting into the territory where Ward might be favored. But AJ, Wilder, Parker, Pulev & Povetkin would all be favored over Ward.

Crawford on the other hand would be easily knocked out by the entire top 10.

Yes there should be weight divisions and I seriously doubt Ward could beat Wilder. Ward was dropped and hurt by a middleweight who lost half of his fights and won only about 22% of his fights by KO. The windmill of doom would miss Ward a lot but sooner or later he would land a bomb or two and knock Ward out. Ward has no power that Wilder need fear and Wilder is too big and strong for Ward to muscle him on the inside. Wilder has a long fast hard accurate left jab that Ward wouldn't be able to completely avoid. If Ward was a natural heavyweight he would beat Wilder but he can't spot Wilder 50 pounds of lean muscle and many inches of height and reach and still win. He isn't that good and Wilder isn't that bad.

Loma is overrated garbage. Loses to Chris Arreola
