How many high paying sports WITHOUT WEIGHT CLASSES can a 125 pound man compete at the highest level at ?
NFL nope
NBA nope
Baseball nope
Ice hockey nope
even Soccer and tennis are out
outside of combat sports which have weight categories there are very very few high paying professional sporting options
No one gets rich from the other possibiilties like weightlifitng, gymnastics, olympic wrestling etc
Misleading statement. They don’t weigh 125 when they actually compete. Plus they could easily weigh more if they wanted to. They could have a lot more muscle mass (and fat) if they wanted to, but it simply isn’t conducive to success in their sport. I’m not saying you have no point, I get what you saying let’s be realistic and make this accurate. How much does the average flyweight or bantam weight walk around at? And then factor in a completely different training philosophy in ball sports. Some of them would be around 150 easily.
There have been numerous very good NBA players between 150-160 lbs. I’m talking guys that started. It also isn’t unheard of to see an NFL player lighter in the 160’s. Of course small guys are going to be less common bit you are blowing it out of proportion a little bit. It’s fighting anyway, it’s not the same thing why does it bother you so much? We have weight classes for these situations.
