    In light of all the multi titlist at different weights these days, does that prove that the original/classic 8 divisions were enough i.e., the super weights are excess to requirements. Thoughts anyone?

    Super bantam, Super feather, Jr. Welter, & Jr. and Super Middle have provided some great fights and fighters.

    Just too many ABC organizations I think is the main problem which keeps the best "*******" weight fighters from fighting each other.

    I agree with you but we could of still had those fights at catchweights or at one of the original weights. Seems to me that nearly every champ these days will move up which makes me wonder if they could of competed at the original weight or lower/higher in the first place.
