Fly weight 115 - 105




ANY fighter can fight above their weight class if they choose.

This will produce fewer champions with less belts, upping the value of a champion. It will also make guys fight at the real weight, not this re-hydration crap which is not safe.

Imagine that.

[Willie Pep 229]

You can't do that. The biggest guys need to be called HW.

Your weight numbers are OK but . . .

. . . you don't throw away 130 years of tradition and prestige.

You need to rethink your titles, starting with HW and work your way down.

Your contemporary self doesn't get to strip away, for mere convenience, the prestige of the past HW Champions of the World by denoting them as less.

I know you guys like to bad mouth past champions because they were smaller men . . .

. . . and you all can do that, but me personally, I think you need to shove "Super Heavyweight" up you butts.

With love.

These are fair points to a novel idea i do not agree nor disagree with. I get tradition, but with the growing times (no pun intended) maybe the weight classes imposed by the Zufc would be an upgrade? I'm impartial. I see both sides yet close neither as a preference.

Our beloved boxing orgs are not laughing. Most likely, they now have this proposal under consideration.

****

I could have been less of an ******* when saying

I do not understand why no one cares about making middleweight be in the middle of the weight divisions.

Mitts killed it and we all thought that **** funny as ****, but, it wasn't a bad thread or idea Z.

[The D3vil]

I don't agree with anything that changes the lineage of the HW championship that goes back to John L. Sullivan.

We should just get rid of a few of those lower weight classes.

We don't need 105, 115, 122, 130, or really 140.

I'd entertain getting rid of 154, too.
