Weight limits turn great fighters into near champs
The article reflects on how weight limits shaped careers of Johnny Dundee Packey McFarland Harry Greb and Mike Gibbons. It notes Dundee struggled at featherweight and wobbled between divisions driving up fights and weak title chances while McFarland hovered near 118 to 135 pounds and Greb stayed around middleweight, with Gibbons often just under the welterweight line.
