I like them, those make more sense than whats out there right now, simple and sweet. Lets start a petition to make these weights happen.

I really don't have any trouble with the traditional weights -- 175 and down for light-heavys, 160 for middleweights, 147 for welterweights, 135 for lightweights, etc. I don't think we need the junior welterweights of the world or superflyweights -- keep the number of champions down.
Two additions, though. Cruiserweight (190 and below) isn't tradition, but is a worthy weight. And since heavyweights today seem to weigh at least 220, I would set up something at 210 and below. It might bring a certain type of fighter back.
