Ward probably isn't making 160. Bradley probably isn't making 135

Both would be dead men walking at those weights. Bradley would move up to welter and Ward would be a Light Heavy.

he started his career at 160 and was there until early 2007. He got too big for 160. He couldn't make it safely anymore.

I think a lot of fighter's would find ways to cut or gain weight if there were fewer divisions.

Bradley at lightweight isn't that crazy, he even inquired dropping down to the division with his doctor before everyone left the division.

alot would but ward isn't making 160. And if he does he is going to be a dead man walking.

Even though people don't like the division. Cruiserweight is vital. We're talking over 40-100(if it's Valuev) pound gap between Light HW and HW.

I''d redo weights like this

Flyweight
Bantamweight
Featherweight
Lightweight
Welterweight
Middleweight
Super Middle (175)
Light Heavyweight(210)
Heavyweigh

i would not go up to 210 for HW. i would keep it at 200.

Anyone up for doing hypothetical top 10 divisional rankings in these classes?

I think the sport would look much different, a lot of quality fighters and quality fights.

That would be fun. Top 10 for the original 8 weight classes.
