IBF's agreement is pending

Don't like the "super" names, hope IBF keeps the "junior" names.

 

[Shoemaker]

And light-heavyweight stays the same. That guy doesn't follow any of the rules.

 

[ironfist05]

how I see it:

heavyweight
cruiserweight
light heavyweight
super middleweight
middleweight
junior middleweight
welterweight
junior welterweight
lightweight
super featherweight
featherweight
super bantamweight
bantamweight
super flyweight
flyweight
junior flyweight
strawweight

not really any logic to it, but just how I like the sound

 

[Francis Rossi]

Shame they aren't unifying the names in the rankings too. Four world champions per division is ridiculous.

same with me. Don't know why but never liked the super thing, except for smw. They get a pass, imo.

Ward is now the Junior Light Heavyweight champion.

Superflyweight is pretty cool sounding.

 

[BluntTrauma21]

Ward is now the Junior Light Heavyweight champion.

I'm down with that. That would be the coolest sounding weightclass by far, lol.

I don't know, Superflyweight might be the winner haha.

Everything should just be gauges of heavyweight, the true weightclass. Middlewieght can be JuniorSubLightHeavyweight,etc.

Lol. Gangster as all heck.

 

[Scott Baiowulf]

I prefer the junior in divisions like JMW too but I just call them by weight now. easier. 122 class, 130 class,

"Damn it light heavyweight i would have your badge for this, if you werent so damn good at your job"


i personally dont have a problem with the way it is now, but as long as they dont mess with 105 through 122 i will be good

 

[Gigaton Punch]

Junior sounds stupid. Sounds like a kid's division

Light & Super >>>>>>>

 

[ironfist05]

fun fact, one of the minor sanctioning bodies (can't remember which) actually has a junior cruiserweight division (190 I believe)

 

[Seano]

Cruiser weight used to be called junior heavyweight too.
