Would Boxing Be More Exciting If There Was Only 5 Divisions & 1 Belt?

5 divisions is nowhere near enough. You'd wipe out all the legitimately small guys who couldn't compete at 135. At the other end of the scale, 190 is nowhere near high enough. As you said, most super-middleweights (who are not big guys) walk around at 190. So everyone bigger than that gets chucked in with the 250-pounders?

 

Superheavy.................

How can you possibly rate David Haye #2 at Heavyweight? Who has he beaten at heavy?

 

Nevermind

 

terrible idea. The 1 champ per division thing is good, but only 5 divisions? and none below 135? 122 alone has given us, arguably, the FOTY the last 2 years and 3 of the last 8. I like the weight classes the way they are now.

 

there would be many without a division and alot of interim and super champs

 

i still think there is no problem with 17 divisions.. that only means fighting on equal terms..

the only ones who can disagree with one belt are the ones making money off sanctioning fees (and the paper-champs)

 

Superheavyweight - Do you honestly think that the minimumweights could fight the lightweights on equal terms? Just because there is a major disadvantage for some heavys doesnt mean that you should give the minimumweights or the super middles the same disadvantage.

 

my bad.

 

8 or 9 would be fine, but there is nothing ****ed up about wanting fighters to be fighting on equal terms. Look at Ricky Hatton - he sucked ass at WW - He owned at JWW.
