Shouldn't Welterweight Or Lightweight Be Renamed To Middleweight

[nebulousned]

There are 8 divisions and middlweight is the 6th heaviest. Only two divisions are heavier but five are lighter.

That isn't in the middle at all.

Edit: this thread is in the wrong subforum sorry.

Its moreso the fact that it kinda is middleweight. The average adult American is around 86kg so it wouldn't be accurate for Middleweight to be 70kg. This is also in relation to flyweight (55kg) , bantamweight (61kg) vs the heavyweight limit of 120kg. Middleweight is right in the middle using the flyweight-heavyweight range
