    Got to agree there, these idiots are adding more complications with their stupid "Supreme Super" or whatever champion titles they have.

    I say keep all of the weight classes for now. I've sort of made my peace with it and know who everyone is and i don't want all that work to go to waste.

    So that basically means the amateur (AIBA) weight divisions, which are 11.

    105-108 minimum-jr flyweight
    112-115 flyweight-super flyweight
    118-122 Bantamweight-super bantamweight

    I mean nobody really cares much about the lower weight class. If they combine those weight class then we can have more big fights.

    cruiserweights and heavyweights- Those cruiserweights are just as big as the heavyweights anyways.

    I'd rather see all the pocket sized heavyweights like Eddie Chambers come down to 200. Or just bump the cruiserweight limit up ten pounds and see who bites.

    I'd love to see what would happen to 175 and 160 if SMW was abolished.

    Imagine guys like say Bute and Froch at MW with Pavlik and Abraham...or guys like Andrade, Ward, Kessler and Dirrell at 175 with Cloud and Dawson.
