    but" if were are talking concepts IMO this would be fair...

    LHW 175
    CW 190
    HW 210
    SHW 235

    I think about 16 divisions would work...add a SHW....delete 2 and extend the others by 1 1/2 lbs

    out of all the divisions/weights in boxing the one that generates the least money is .........yes cruiser weight(other than straw weight).....its refered to "no mans land"
    danny has a strap that make people want to come here and be contenders...
    it works for him and his posse....!
    team green learnt a big lesson with the briggs fight,green learnt a big lesson bj florres fight.....me thinks team green will bring out another big name for his next fight.
    strike while the irons hot......its entertainment..!

    Sadly, you're right. It's become entertainment. Where there used to be combatants to provide entertainment, there's now entertainers providing it.

    "Break!!!!"... "Step Back!!!".... "No Face PUNCHES!!!"... "BOX!!!!"

    Yep.
    Keep the IBO belt, and ditch the others as they arent even worthy of holding up sallywinders soiled overalls.

    see in the eyes of contenders,they see green making all this cash with the cruzer strap..
    they want the trinket so to use it as a way of generating cash.they had a plan early on to get the cruzer title,and its worked....u need a title to make money and to keep the hype up.the ibo is a minor title,not fully fledged but it creates a lot of interest.
    i bet danny gets heaps of offers every week to defend the title.
    MONEY FOR JAM........................

    I don't and have never agreed with a super heavyweight division in boxing or MMA. If you have the skills and are good enough at 230/235 lbs then you can still rule the heavyweight class.

    Agree 100%!

    The weigh in should be the same day of the fight, in fact, maximum of 2 hours out from the fight.

    This boiling down to achieve a light weight so you can eat and rehydrate and hope to be bigger than your opponent on fight night is silly and dangerous.
