Would you support a 187 pound weight class?

Yes. I think going from weight jumps of 5s, 6s, 7s and 8s to a whopping 25 lbs leaves an awful lot of men in a kind of limbo. Those that walk around in decent shape at about 200lbs (myself included, were I a professional) face a less than enviable choice of either a huge and potentially dangerous cut back down to 175 or having to put on ~15lbs of lean mass to match the size of more natural cruisers that actually cut weight to make 200lbs. Either way it forces a decent amount of men, and probably a particularly high demographic from Eastern Europe, to drastically stray from their natural frame and thus affect peak performance by either adding or taking away too much muscle mass.

To three S.Fs:
105 to 108 is a 2.86% increase.
108 to 112 is a 3.70% increase.
112 to 115 is a 2.68% increase.
115 to 118 is a 2.61% increase.
118 to 122 is a 3.39% increase.
122 to 126 is a 3.28% increase.
126 to 130 is a 3.17% increase.
130 to 135 is a 3.85% increase.
135 to 140 is a 3.70% increase.
140 to 147 is a 5% increase.
147 to 154 is a 4.75% increase.
154 to 160 is a 3.89% increase.
160 to 168 is another 5%.
168 to 175 is 4.17%

175 going on 200 is a 14.14% increase, pretty much three times as large as any other difference in weight class. That speaks for itself, IMO.

If you're complaining about there being too many divisions, you should be directing your attention to the ludicrous amount of smaller divisions. The first seven divisions cover the same weight as that between LHW and CW.

 

No, I'd support removing 8 of the weight classes we have.

 

I disagree. A fit guy that walks around at 190 can use his being lighter to his advantage. Also, a skilled smaller guy that develops his skillset can find ways to win. Plenty of fighters have done it before. Unlike the lower weight classes that have an endless supply of talent at 175 and higher there just aren't enough fighters to start splitting up the talent even more.

Once fighters get over 180 lbs skill trumps size all day long anyway. Its just that a lot of smaller guys at heavyweight and cruiserweight come in out of shape and don't master their skillset.

Archie Moore was walked around at between 190-200 lbs. for heavyweight he would fight at his walking around weight, but since he was also the reigning 175 champ he would have to cut down in between heavyweight fights to defend his belt.

The Spinks brothers also didn't have any problem giving up height and weight. Leon could mix it up with the best of them before destroying himself with drugs. I also think Michael could've made an excellent heavyweight despite being very light, but even going into the first Holmes fight he has bad knees and by the time of the Tyson fight both his knees were completely shot.

 

In theory, but that's not how it can work.

Name one fighter minimumweight fighter who could beat a 118lber?

Name one lightweight who could beat a JMW?

It just wouldn't be fair. I agree there could be less, but dropping that many is silly.
