Light
Weedy

TOO many divisions! I'd rather see the Olympic divisions implemented into pro boxing...but I suppose more divisions more sanctioning fees.

It was a troll like post, referring to any boxer below 135lb as weedy. Just because you prefer to watch fellas with breasts cuddle for 12 rounds (isn't that similar to gay porn?) doesn't mean the lighter divisions are 'weedy'. Are you a Fatboy in a thin mans body? Of coarse there's too many weight divisions and too many champions but you can't have it both ways, I mean your hero Joseph Parker in all likelihood wouldn't become 'world champion' if there wasn't more than 1 sanctioning body......

I prefer more the old way of doing things. Adding cruiser, but that's it. So it would be:
Heavyweight
Cruiser
Light Heavyweight
Middleweight
Welterweight
Lightweight
Flyweight
Bantamweight
Featherweight
And that's it. I'm ok with the different alphabets if they fought each other. Often. But they don't.
RE: Parker vs Ruiz for WBO - craigyid14 - 11-19-2016
I'd have the old 8 (adding feather to your list), but agree with keeping cruiser. With modern boxers its too much to expect someone of 180-190lbs to beat a guys built naturally (or unnaturally) bigger these days.

I'm 6ft 4 and 106kg. So I refer to those nearly half my weight as weedy. That's just me. I could call them bantams or flys or strawpeople....?

Yep, added Featherweight. Was doing it from memory and forgot Featherweight.

Where did you see this? Post it please. I can't find the undercard anywhere. Will keep looking. We're only 3 weeks out.
