    If we went back to the original 8 divisions, every division would be stacked with talent. For example, think of 160 and 175 if 154 and 168 did not exist.

    Make light heavyweight limit 185lbs.

    Heavyweight division should be between 185 and 230.

    Introduce a new division for over 230lbs called freak'n'fatweight.

    Uh Yeah! I dont see anything wrong with that then maybe we wouldnt have to wait 4-6 months to see a half decent fight. We wouldnt have to suffer with these damn 24-7, more money more fights more happy fans all positives.

    The existence of the light middleweight division is depriving us of great fights like Taylor v Ouma, Taylor v Spinks and Pavlik v Mora!

    Blame Taylor if he would've knocked out Ouma and Spinks like he should've then he would've helped to make your point. What doesnt make Mora a legitimate Middleweight? Cause he's feather fisted so is JT. And Pavlik and Mora didnt happen cause Pavlik is an Irresponsible ***** bar fighting instead of defending the "disputed" Undisputed MiddleWeight Championship.

    Cruiserweight is a must. Most Eastern European fighters are natural cruiserweights.

    Thier body frame fits in cruiserweight, kinda like Mexicans in Featherweight, Lightweight etc...

    We are generally bigger people compared to the Mexicans, but also a lot of them are to big for Light Heavy and to small for Heavy.

    Thats why we got these many prospects and champions coming from Eastern Europe countries like Poland and Russia...

    Guys like Wlodarczyk, Drodz, Fragomeni, Huck, Alexeev etc... are to big for Light Heavy but seem to small for Heavy.

    A guy like Denis Boytsov is generally borderline heavy so he has a good case.

    I would eliminate it for sure. I would then put all the fatties and freaks in the super heavweight division.

    I think the Cruiser limit should be something like 185. That way you could generate more competition in the lower weights.

    I agree. Perhaps a rescaling of the weight classes is in order, but we need fewer classes.

    hell no. a couple of the lower 7 or 5 lb divisions should be eliminated but there needs to be something between 175 and unlimited and that's pretty obvious
