    They're all fighters who are trying to do damage with the jab rather than just control distance, so the group makes a lot of sense.

    Those fighters don't throw that many jabs in the first place and often use their jab for damage as the above poster said. Other jabbers miss more because they use a wider variety of jabs including types of jabs that are less likely to land.

    I get flyweight, feather weight, lightweight, welter, middle, heavy. What in the world is a bantam? 118lbs is such a random number and the name for the weight. If inoue was 8lbs heavier hes global star

    It's the only reason Floyd Mayweather's style works at 147.

    the talent pool in a lot of lower weight classes is considerably larger than at HW and concurrence is hihger.
    People of course more respect HW boxers because they are large and ppl respect ppl who from their opinion might beat them up.
    Welterweight alone does have considerably larger talent pool than HW division considered in forums as elite because they just are large size.
    This is easy to check up by number of active pro boxers per division.

    I just meant the name "bantam" like what is a bantam? Fly and feather is like small and light and all the others above are light middle heavy etc. Where did this bantam come from lol. I wish the weight classes would change. There should be way less multiple division champions. If u have more than 1 belt in more than 1 weight class it should be someone so talented and make their stock rise astronomically

    Well, from one point I really agree with you unless there is very big factor: weight cut with dieting and proper schedule for exercises and ofc also water cut.

    If there in 126 lbs division pretty large dude might had fought and make weight and his real weight in the ring had popped up when he didn't managed to weight in in limits.
    Then they had been weighted in also at fight night and dude weighted 147 lbs.
    So he really still might had weighted in in limits for 130 lbs division and in the ring dude = 147 lbs.
    A lot of low weight class boxers are talking how heavy they are walking around. Damn, their weight cut no rarerly is higher even in pure lbs than for CW division. Dude might weight in for 130 lbs limit and is 147 lbs in the ring. This cut in lbs is considerably higher than CW Usyk, Huck etc boxers had. 17 lbs and a bit more.

    Forever I could have sworn it was Phantom weight. Which makes sense because they are light. Turns out I was wrong but still like mine better. Phantom weight sounds way better.

    Weight is a weird thing. Im 6'1 and i go from around 165-175lbs and im relatively skinny but if i were a pro boxer i would have to fight somewhere around 130-140lbs to be able to compete at the higher levels. Ryan garcia is skinnier than me and shorter and he fights at 135lbs. Some guys are built different like tank davis who also fights at 135 and hes like 5'5 and a little stocky. Weight is hard to tell and weight cutting is dangerous and not good for the sport. We need some sort of change

    I appreciate skills no matter what weight but i only really watch 126lbs and up. Inoue, choclatito, estrada and the stars at lower weights brought my eyes there but i rarely watch

    Yeah and there suggested solution like fight night weight in in limit is double edged sword.
    Because then most likely a lot of boxers will be not properly hydrated in the ring and number of bad outcomes will increase.
    This will induce safespace fans talks ( number of safespace enthusiasts is higher than number of boxing fans ) that government should ban pro boxing. This already had been done in some countries, then ban again lifted etc bad things for boxing.
    Like articles in media, how horrible is that someone had died or had stayed in hospital for long time.
    Ofc about simple casual things that happens in boxing on daily basis these safespace forces aren't interested.
    If death or months in hospital this brings their attention, increase political pressure.

    Well, there if you train you usually weight in on regular basis and do had approx 3 weights: walking around while doing casual daily training , when you are doing training camp with higher workload than on daily basis usually, then weight you have after pre fight camp.
    Then you monitor these weights and calculate, how much you might reduce with dieting, nutrition plan and only after this calculate about water cut.

    If you reduce weight by reducing body fat % and are not doing water cut, you are more durable, cos without de and rehydration process you are more " fresh " than with this.
    If you compete at high level amateurs or in pros, if it is possible, use nutritionist and sport doctor with experience to work with fighters. The same about your S./C - fitness coach.

    Yeah, body types are different, of course.

    Your on point. But not even body types weight in general. U ever smoke that stuff thats not tobacco? Sometimes a gram looks like a whole lot and sometimes its 1 tiny nugget lol. Bottomline we need to do something about weight classes and rehydration testing like they do in "one" championship mma. The IBF does a 10lb clause which is good but percentage is better than just weight u kno what im sayjng?

    I'm assuming this active fighters.
    Who knew Deontay was accurate with anything.... Would be interesting to see Wlad % of jabs landed. Often static targets and he could shorten it or use it as a real ram rod.
