    I don't know anything but, JuniorCruiserweight. Maybe the Ironweight division or Stoneweight division.

    In Eastern Europe the average adult male is over 6 feet tall. In America only 14 percent of adult males are over 6 feet tall.

    Boxing isn't just a thing for Mexicans, Western Europeans and Americans anymore.

    I've heard people complain that if we take away the 105, 108, 115, 122 weight classes where will the Asians and Mexicans fight?

    Well many Eastern Europeans are faced with a task of a ridiculously hard weight cut to 175 or bulk up to 200. When they could be a natural fighter at 187.

    I would support the addition of 5 new divisions North of 175

    185 Super LHW

    195 Junior CW

    205 CW

    215 Super CW

    230 HW

    250 + Super HW

    Definitely not. We need fewer divisions, not more.

    That would be a disaster of the highest order where no one would ever face anyone worthwhile.
