Save Boxing: There should be only 3 weight divisions and one champ in each!!

[The King Hornet]

Nowadays boxing is a disgrace- a bunch of belt-holding "champions" in every division and a **** load of "super" and/or "junior" divisions.

No one outside of hardcore fans knows who the boxing champ is or which division they are in or what the fk is even going on. So they stop caring.

There should only be three divisions in boxing: Lightweight, Middleweight, and Heavyweight.

Heavyweight- Anyone at or above 200lbs. Only one HW Champ and one belt.

Middleweight- 160-199lbs. Kovalev, Canelo, Usyk, Ward, GGG, Jack, all need to be fighting each other. Canelo walks around at 200+ easily, don't tell me his fat ass is too small.

Lightweight- anything 159 or below. Crawford, Charlos, Thurman, Davis, Loma, Broner, Mikey, all need to fight each other.

These would make for some amazing fights. Imagine Loma vs Mikey, Canelo vs Kovalev, etc.

Get rid of Batamweight, featherweight, and all that ****. Don't need men weighing less than teenaged girls in boxing. (Just LOL at grown men weighing less than 150 lbs). Bulk the fk up and fight at lightweight!

Same day weigh in for all, no more rehydration nonsense, no more using weight divisions as an excuse not to fight.

Now everyone knows who the Heavyweight, Middleweight, and Lightweight champion is.

Time to bring boxing back to the glory days!!!!!

I want Usyk after I finish off Joshua. *cracks knuckles*

Dumbest idea. Boxing is a world sport. There are countries where it’s people are short or have thinner bodies by genetic. There is a reason why Asia and South America produce champions. A man at 18 is different than when he’s 30. Boxing is perfect

[Make U Cry]

No more ducking, best must fight the best.

This is boxing dude not the Hobbits from Lord of the Rings lol.

[Citizen Koba]

No, man. There can be only one!

I say we eliminate weightclasses altogether and make each fight to the death!

OR

Return to the original 8 maybe with a cruserweight division thrown in to allow for the fact that there's just more bigger guys these days.

OR
Start again in Metric with about a 10% increase between each class

Start with Fly at about 50Kg and work up from there:

50, 55, 60, 66, 72 (roughly MW), 80, 90, 100, 100+ (Roughly 220Lbs - Heavyweight). - possibly without the 90 - 100kg class and HW being 90+

And yeah. One strap per division, one overarching governing body, some form of fan involvement, corruption oversight and democratic accountability.

A man can dream, can't he?

Really? You haven't noticed that all of the Strawweights, Flyweights, etc. are from asian countries?

yes there are too many weight classes, but just having 3 would be ridiculous. Nobody would want to watch Keith Thurman beat the crap out of a 100lb Japanese fighter.

Reducing weight classes would be a good start, we don't need 17 of them, especially when the difference between some is 4-5lbs. But the big issue (at least to me) is that there are too many sanctioning bodies and meaningless ABC titles.

[BillyBoxing]

3 divisions is dumb and stupid.

But you are right, too much divisions in boxing.

I would welcome maybe only 12, 17 is far too much.

Too much belts 68 regular belts, 75 if you count fckin IBO.

12 divisions and 12 belts would be perfect.

" Don't need men weighing less than teenaged girls in boxing"...................................hahahaha

Those "teenage girls would make you cry in the ring!
Three weight divisions is a really dumb idea.
The junior and super classes must go and all the 12 round bouts need ONLY be REAL title fights. Return the contenders and fringed champs to 10 rounders were most belong.
