This. If there was a boxing Thanos, a billionaire boxing enthusiast who could collect all the major belts and snap his fingers thus creating one true belt, that would be awesome.
He's right. This is the tendency for these types of things. It's like tax returns. Over time the pages get longer and longer.
112 and 118 are fine. Its just that some guys are really small. But the priblem is that there are so few of them.
Not going to happen now. They'd have a different weight class every 3 pounds if they could get away with it. The only changes I can see are between Cruiserweight and/or Heavy or within Cruiser itself
man that would suck if you had a belt in a division that no longer existed. What a dinosaur you would feel. Maybe that is how a junior heavyweight feels to a degree.
Get down to -5% body fat and you'll be surprised how small most people are. I bet the average 180 pound bloke boils down to a light-welter weight if they became a pro boxer.
I know this because I'm in my late 30s and weigh 220 pounds now. I've been lifting for years and can shift some pretty handy weight, but I'm also a fat b@stard owed to a love of food and beers. I have a lot of muscle on my chest, arms and legs, but also a gut on me. When I was 19 years old I was as tall as I am now (a shade under 6 feet) weighed 10 stone 10 pounds (150 pounds exactly) had some but not much lean muscle mass, and very, very low body fat. If I'd trained as a boxer I'd have probably put on half a stone in muscle but also dehydrated to make weight, meaning my "natural" size is that of a large Welterweight/Light Middleweight in the Kell Brook mold. Incidentally I've met Kell and I'd say frame wise we're pretty much exactly the same size. In fact I play a game a lot of the time, look at a guy in the street and guess his true weight class when stripped of fat and bulk muscle.
