They are crippling fighters and not giving them their due respect. I understand why they were done and they have a reason for being there. But seriously, you can't take away a fighter's strength just because of their weight class.
What I mean is someone like Manny Pacquiao has at most a 55 hand power. He should have power in the 80s because that is what he has. He has the ability to get you out of there with a few well placed punches. 55 is the punching power of someone like cory spinks or paulie malignaggi.
I know they countered the cap on power with a cap on toughness but that doesnt make sense either. Marvin Hagler has a 72 head toughness which ties him with Roy Jones Jr. Are we going to actually say that Roy takes punches as well as Marvelous?
We need a better way of translating size differences than just capping weight classes. I scoff at the notion that cory spinks and sergio mora punch as hard as Kermit Cintron just because they are a weight class heigher.
