Should there be a height class as well?

No because weight classes + height classes would make it too complicated. I think there are already too many classes in boxing.

It's not the craziest idea for youth, maybe junior. Not passed that though.

Kudo has something like "physical size classes" where your physical size is your height in cm + your weight in kg so you can't lanklet bully people. I don't think that formula is exactly right, but I like the idea. In striking you see a lot of lanklets just cut weight and fight people with half a foot less range than them (Izzy Adesanya) that get in trouble when they fight someone actually their range.

no
lanklets hit weaker but more often and dominate the fight
built manlets can land power shot KO
they just fight diferently but they're equaly dangerous

Weight classes are already stupid and should be abolished at the professional level.

Being small is essentially a handicap, because generally speaking a man who is significantly bigger than you will beat you in a fight whether or not he is as skilled at various techniques as you are. This is just as inescapable as the fact that a man will generally beat a woman in a fight due to his inherent biological advantages. If you can't be competitive in an open weight competition then you simply aren't as strong a fighter as someone who can be. Personally, I consider the concept of lower weight classes to be exactly the same as something like the Paralympics.

This, men below 6’ have no business learning to fight, and will always be at the mercy of larger, masculine men unless they are armed.

Bruh in open weight competition you would just get throat fucked by Ngubu. Lanklets are the tall guys you fight in your own weight class.

Its true that weight classes are like affirmative action for smaller people but they make more entertaining fights on average than the heavy weights. Also because it is infeasible to have weight classes in team sports and team sports make more money than combat sports all the best heavy weight athletes will pretty much always be doing something like football or hockey not mma. So having lower weight classes gives at least one sport where small guys can shine and like I said it has a higher pace of action than the heavy weight division more diversity of techniques kicks etc because the lower weight class fighters have to move less mass and can pull off flips and shit.
