    What if fighters are assigned a minimum weight class based on bone mass, frame, etc.?

    A doctor,etc. is able to prescribe patients an ideal weight based on various measurements. Seems like a similar set of measurements could be used to establish a minimum weight class for fighters. This would address the whole problem in boxing in which high tech training camps can allow fighters to cut weight and be twice the size of their opponent on fight night.

    There's no doubt arguments against this but seems like a workable solution, no?

    If a doctor were to examine the bone density of every fighter, many of them would probably never be approved. So many people in this world are deficient in Vitamin D & Calcium it's ridiculous.

    It's a great idea, I hope it's implemented forthwith.

    Most black fighters would have higher bone density than white fighters, this might give the black fighters a chance to win some fucking fights, if they get put into a class of their own for a change.

    I like it, I am all for equal opportunities.

    You saw what happened with Deontay Wilder when they let him fight Stiverne, for example.

    Does this account for boxers who are tall for their height?

    It would be a shame if such chaps were conspired against

    How is your bone density Neil, are you lacking girth and vascularity....:dunno:

    Maybe Loaded and the rest of the "Mirth of Girth" gang will let you join their Jelqing Group session.

    Sounds great and very feasible.

    The sport needs to implement the Double L Boxing Reform Act.

    I just went to the Boxrec site, I think it's fairly easy to negotiate. I am not scared!
