    Everybody says theres too many titles but is it just me or do ye think having too many weight classes adds to the problem? I mean junior welter, welter, super welter ... light middle, middle, super middle ....

    Could they not have light welter and welter, light middle and middle?

    Surely super welter and light middle could be combined, likewise with super middle and light heavy etc. As it is with all the titles added into the mix you end up with something like 30 paper world champs between junior welter and super middle instead of 4 proper ones.

    I'm lost, you listed two equal weights using different language.

    Super Welter     and Light Middle are the same, and the same as Junior Middle

    I think the current system is fine. If anything, I wouldn't mind adding a super heavyweight division so some of the current heavyweights have to show up in shape.

    I feel it for the kids in school these days - they must be bemused when told to "pick on somebody your own size" :confused:
