Funny how we've grown as a nation. Back when I was a kid in the 80's we would have had a few between Fly & Light, instead of just four that we have now.

And we wouldn't have 40% of the Heavyweights.

funny enough the actual documented average height and weight of adult men in uk is almost identical to the 1980s, maybe just unrelated talent drop in the lower divisions? i wonder how the number of active pros down there compares to back generations. are more staying amateur etc

i wonder if there will be more lower division talent in coming years, with all the recent immigration from countries with smaller people on average
