Not too surprising results. Some quick thoughts on these numbers...
-Minimumweight is by FAR the weakest division. Men just arent naturally that small usually I guess.
-Until you get to Bantamweight, there isnt a lot of depth to each division. Those lower weight classes are only divided by like 2 or 3lbs...thats way too little. they need to condense these lower ones, its pointless.
-Not surprising at all, Lightweight-Welterweight are the deepest divisions. The historically most deep divisions of all time have always been Lightweight and Welterweight.
-After Middleweight there seemed to be a pretty big drop. I think that simply means people inflate themselves to try and make Heavyweight, since thats where the money is at.
