    Let's end short reach and height shaming.

    Saying people have "T-Rex arms" is wrong.

    Some of this is very ableist and disgustingly bigoted towards the trans-champion community who believe that "champion" and "non-champion" are indistinguishable categories, propped up by the boxing patriarchy to demean those of lesser "skill"--another abhorrently meritocratic, cis-championed term.

    Bunch of trans-championphobes in here.

    By the way, my pronouns are: shampion (she+champion)/championkind/champion-fluid/bi-champion/lespion (lesbian+champion)

    Man?! I'm literally shaking right now. This failure to address me by my preferred pronouns is actual violence against the trans-champion community and worthy of a public tarring and feathering via Twitter. I would try and have you perma-banned from this forum if I wasn't busy petting my emotional support animal right now.

    Just let the fighters pick a weight class they identify with, it's too discriminatory as it currently stands. If a 6ft 3 200 pound man feels deep down inside that they are a 140 pound little man trapped in a big man's body then who are we to say no to him??

    Wait isn’t this already a thing?? Is there not a division called Tankweight is honor of the greatest weight mover Gervonta Davis. Yeah I think you can go across divisions and have guys fight him in his weight class just as long their not ranked within the top 10 of any other divisions.
