Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3776629, member: 289"] I'd got with 10 as well but I'd go Fly, Bantam, feather, Light, Welter, Middle, Light heavy, middle heavy, heavy and Super Heavy. I'd let scientists and mathematicians who are boxing fans figure out the weights. The problem is that the heavyweight division is allowed to grow and thus morphs into a different divisions. Nobody is a contender in that division who is the size of a Rocky Marciano, a Jack Dempsey or even a Joe Louis any more and even the Muhammed Alis, Sonny Listons and George Foremans would be punching upwards now. Split divisions with split championships allow fighters to have their own fiefdoms so they don't feel compelled to fight each other. Put them all in the same full division fighting for one title and you'll see them in the ring together. Even better than that would be an annual tournament to determine the championship. Imagine Mayweather-Pacquaio on a yearly basis! [/QUOTE]
