Who really cares about all of these weight classes?

He brought up MMA. Maybe he's a MMA fan trying to discredit boxing?

:-(

MMA... atsch

 

fatass

 

flyweight with a gun ktfo 1 wlad!

seriously bro, if you take all the rules away, it wouldn't be boxing. if you take away weight classes, all that we will see if john ruiz hugging and pushing everybody else and he could be the best boxer in the world.

this is the stupidest thread ever.

 

Hmmm... That's what MMA basically is today, so maybe that was his motivation for this thread???

 

it would kind of be cool actually. But you couldnt call it boxing.

Interesting post, and despite all the ridicule you will undoubtedly get, not quite as ridiculous as its seems. In the early years of boxing, you did have guys who would move from the MW level all the way up to HW. I must say I like it when guys like Toney, Byrd or Jones try to replicate the sorts of achievements made by guys like Bob Fitzsimmons or Sam Langford 100 or so years ago.

Of course, they face more formitable challenges than fighters of 100 years ago, since they are often going up against guys who would have been regarded as giants back then. And these so-called super-heavyweights are more skilled than the few giants of the old days, like Jess Willard. In some respects, that makes the achievements of guys like Byrd perhaps even more impressive.

In sum, I don't know if your idea is really as workable today, at least on to the extent that it was 100 years ago. And for fighters below 160 or 168, I'd say its pretty much impossible. Even old-time boxing had SOME weight-classes. The problem today is not weight-classes as such, but that there are WAY too many.

 

I actually like this idea. They should also give the boxer's swords and other weapons, since the fights are sometimes boring when two very tactical fighters meet. Also, instead of the ropes, they should have barbed wire, in case on of the fighters wants to quit(and therefore making it impossible to see that he can lick the other sunavabitch).

 

Yeah when you were a kid. That means you grew old and can't cope up with the changes around you.

Don't watch the chihuahuas . . . watch the gorilla's shithead. :yep

 

i am a boxing fan but couldent tell u all 4 champs of the 105 pound limet Calderon is the only one i can name off the top of my head its not the weights whats the problem here its that there not shown as much


even though 95% of what he said is bull**** i really dont know why there is a 105 and 108 divison why are the smaller divisons have smaller gaps between weight from about welter up its a difference of about 5 pounds which is ok but 3 pounds is silly i think they could cut about 4 off

but the queston is what happens to the fighters and champ they cant just have there belts stripped for no reason its not fair :huh

 

Ya, I'm really in question. I want to badly know who would win between Pacquaio and Klitschko. Pacquaio's speed vs. Klitschko's power. Classic showdown. Any predictions? Klitschko's best chance is to probably go for an early low blow to establish himself and work from there.

 

Exactly.

 

yet if a fatass like yourself got in the ring with a 'midget' like pacman, he'd still smash your teeth into the frontrow.

pacman-barrera or wlad-brewster?:huh
