    I think there are defintley too many weight classes. I dont have a much of a problem with the classes from middleweight and up but I think there should be some consolidation from Junior Middleweight down. Alot of the devisions have a 5lb difference. I **** 5lbs a day...:yep

    My problem isn't with the number of divisions, but rather with the proliferation of world title belts. One champion per current division would work fine for me.

    Have less of a gap between light heavy and crusier.

    Other than that i like the weight classes, as stated in another thread 5-10 pounds can make a huge difference.

    I do go for one belt for each division though. One standard belt for each class

    Maybe they could have a BMI limit for the heavies, to get rid of all the pie eaters. That way, you would have to be in reasonable shape to fight.

    Ideally everyone would bulk up to heavyweight but that can not happen.

    I would go with the original weight divisions minus anything below middleweight.

    Why?

    If fat ****s win, then they deserve to be there.

    Simple:

    Super flyweight
    Junior bantamweight
    Flyweight
    Minimumweight
    Strawweight
    Mini flyweight
    Bantamweight

    Why differentiate between all the fighters that weigh as much as my niece. All this **** should be consolidated in to 1 weight class. Call it "Midgetweight" or "Pre-Pubescent Weight".
