Title: Why the number "202"
Post by: crownshep on September 28, 2009, 04:45:37 AM

How did this number come about as the defining weight for a class for the smaller guys.Why not "200"lbs like they used to have when it was under 200 and over 200lbs.I mean,why pick a weight that is 14 stone 6lbs,or in european terms 91kg,anyone know why this number was picked.?

I could maybe understand 210 as thats 15 stone,or under 90kg (198lb) but whats the big deal with 202lbs.Anyone have the link to what Chicks explanation was for this number.?
