Was it when they altered the original 8? Did you find it funny all these junior or super weights? Was it the pros differing from the amateurs? Was it the amateurs after you became a fan of the pros? Was it Bridger weight? For me it was cruiser weight: when I was a kid I thought cruiser meant a fighter who competed at all the weight classes like a "cruiser" who didn't have a set weight class. Similar to what BJ Penn did in the UFC; coming in at tons of different weights to make exciting fights.
Nothing with Weight Classes and Dehydrating and Rehydrating (in order to compete is a class a fighter does not remotely belong in) surprises me. I am imagining that I will eventually see The (Dan Dan Dan!) SUPER Bridgerweight Division (225-250 Pounds?), and later The Heavyweight Division (250-275 Pounds?), and later still The SUPER Heavyweight Division (275-300 Pounds?), and then (Drum Roll) The Gorilla Weight Division (over 300 pounds?) Followed by The Gorilla Division, which will be Catchweight, and even allow Humans in to compete with actual Gorillas. No snickering because Bears are next! When Gorillas and Bears, themselves, are allowed in boxing, maybe my Manager will finally let me wrestle one? A girl is allowed to hope!
Actually, I think The Light Heavyweight Division has become the weirdest weight class of all. Light Heavyweight, then Cruiserweight, then Bridgerweight, then Heavyweight? Light Heavyweight needs a new name.
