    In the last "middleweight" title fight, didn't Jacobs enter the ring at 175 and Quillin enter it at 190?

    Why is there a 160-pound division if the two guys fighting for it weigh 175 and 190?

    And, if the 175-pound guy knocks the 190 pound guy out in one round ... why is everyone stressed about a couple pounds one way or another?

    Throw everyone who steps into the ring from 151 to 200 into the same division. Make them middleweights.

    Everyone who steps in the ring above 200 is a heavyweight.

    Everyone who steps in the ring below 150 is a lightweight.

    Done. :good

    Lightweight. Middleweight. Heavyweight. You only need three.

    Dunno about the last 20 years, but 23 years ago, I believe Holyfield was 205 vs Bowe the first time. I think that low weight was a factor in the fight.
