If I were to follow your advice the entire way through with every small fighter, I'd have an alumni list over 40 by now. And then to top it off, the few that do have potential simply lose only because of weight - nothing else. I think that's balls.

As for the examples, haven't we seen a few 130lbers win titles in 2 star orgs? Listed in that thread promoting title victories? Yeah, I think that should point out that not every small fighter is horrible, but apparently I can't do that for whatever reason.
