    point is, that is the primary cause of the apparent expansion of the frame, in the larger sense.

    The problem with taking divisions away is that fighters boild down rather than move up. Dehydration is biggest cause of injuries

    I wonder if there'd be any activity in a 185lb Light Cruiserweight Division......maybe not

    That's certainly an issue.

    I just think that it's a little upsetting that two of the premier divisions (LHW and MW) are so barren when the best talent lies in between them. It just doesn't feel right. Finding a way to eliminate 168 to give the more boisterous divisions is good for boxing IMO.

    Well, they have trouble finding heavyweights in Japan and Mexico, so I think they should just make the weight classes smaller instead.

    light heavy would

    why would middleweight
    it would be the same as it is now.

    what supermiddles are you thinking off that could boil down and fight at middleweight ?
