    I agree. We need less divisons. Why not go to the 11 weight classes in the amateur divisons?




    Men's Weight Divisions
    • Light Flyweight 48kg =105.6
    • Flyweight 51kg = 112.2
    • Bantamweight 54kg = 118.8
    • Featherweight 57kg = 125.4
    • Lightweight 60kg = 132
    • Light Welterweight 64kg = 140.8
    • Welterweight 69 kg = 151.8
    • Middleweight 75 kg = 165
    • Light Heavyweight 81 kg = 178.2
    • Heavyweight ( call it crusier weight ) 91 kg = 200
    • Super Heavyweight 91 kg +201+

    LOL....I don't see a difference between 217 and 220 for Tyson. What does three or four pounds mean? You can't even see a difference of three or four pounds. But Tyson was a big heavyweight if you really look at his stats. I mean, Tyson weighed about the same as George Foreman did when he won the title from Frazier - 217 - but Tyson is about 4"-5" inches shorter than George. And Tyson didnt have hardly any fat on him, either. Tyson at 220 looked a lot better than Joe Frazier did at the same weight!
