    How come in the lower weights, weight gaps between divisons are small.. 118,122,126,30
    4-5 pounds while from light welterweight and going up has 7-8 pounds gap?
    140,147,154,160,168...
    Why not 140, 145, 150, 155, etc?

    Because the ratio to the boxer's total weight must stay aproximately the same.

    why is it easier for a 200 pound male to lose weight compared to a 120 pound male?
