what is the weight requirement for heavyweight boxers? correct answer marked as over 205 lbs. but my understanding is that boxers are not _required_ to weigh over 205 in order to box in the heavyweight division. weighing over 205 simply means that they may not box in the division below heavyweight, light heavyweight. of note, most sources list the beginning of the heavyweight division at 200, not 205.

wshew, glad i don't see any of mine here (yet).

for the question, "Who is the main character in TV series Spin city?" michael j. fox is listed as correct, but he is the main actor not the main character.

nevermind. i'm wrong.

sure, i agree that many people are oversensitive.
i also believe that many people are inconsiderate.

i get that misinterpretation of my username quite a bit from those who slept through high school english. it comes from a well-known poem - and it's mankind that is unkind, as this forum has proven again and again. whether or not i am unkind, i leave for each of you to decide.
